Smartsheet (NYSE: SMAR), a leading cloud-based platform for work
execution, has been recognized as one of the 25 Highest Rated Public
Cloud Computing Companies To Work For in a list released by Battery
Ventures, a global investment firm and cloud investor, and Glassdoor,
one of the world’s largest job and recruiting sites. The list highlights
25 publicly-traded B2B cloud computing companies where employees report
the highest levels of satisfaction at work, according to employee
feedback shared on Glassdoor.
The distinction placed Smartsheet ninth out of 25 total with an overall
company rating of 4.2. The broader average across Glassdoor is 3.4.
Smartsheet CEO, Mark Mader, boasts a 96% approval rating on
Glassdoor—compared to an average of 69% for all approximately 900,000
employers on the site—and the company has a 77% positive
business-outlook rating, again based on feedback shared by employees.
The broader Glassdoor average is 49%. A positive business outlook means
employees believe business will improve in the next six months.
“It’s an honor to be ranked as one of the highest-rated public cloud
computing companies to work for,” said Mader. “This recognition both
demonstrates how our employees embrace our company values and shows
their pride in working at a high-growth, high-impact SaaS company.”
“Our people will define our future success, so it’s essential that we
create an environment where they are supported, trusted, and empowered
to do their best work,” said Kara Hamilton, Chief People and Culture
Officer at Smartsheet. “This award recognizes the culture we’re building
together as we aspire to make Smartsheet a place where employees feel
appreciated, engaged, and valued.”
Glassdoor noted that employees at these highly rated companies commonly
mention in online reviews that they enjoy working for mission-driven
companies with strong and unique company cultures; employers that
promote transparency; and companies with experienced senior leaders who
regularly and clearly communicate with employees. For instance,
according to one anonymous employee review of Smartsheet on Glassdoor:
“Smartsheet cares about our people, first — that has been apparent to me
since the start. This sentiment and environment is driven from the top
down. As someone who is highly motivated to work harder when surrounded
by a team of supportive and innovative teammates, this is what drew me
to Smartsheet 1.5+ years ago, and what has kept me here.”
