What employees anonymously said:<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n

Insight Global:<\/b> \u201cInsight Global\u2019s leadership team is probably the most hands-on executive team out of any company I have ever had the opportunity of working for. For example, you get the opportunity to speak to the CEO before starting your career with Insight Global.\u201d<\/p>\n

HubSpot:<\/b> \u201cThe company truly believes in culture and they walk the walk…it’s not just a bunch of propaganda. It’s positive, very women-friendly (the most women I’ve ever worked with at a tech company) and truly energizing to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Intuit:<\/b> \u201cOur CEO, Brad Smith, is an innovative leader who cares about all of his employees regardless of their level.\u201d<\/p>\n

T-Mobile:<\/b> \u201cVery genuine CEO who seems all-in on the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevro:<\/b> \u201cRami is the best CEO I have ever encountered. His philosophy, his values and his conviction. Dead weight doesn’t work at Nevro and I LOVE that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Workfront:<\/b> \u201cAlex is brilliant, insightful, and strategic. He’s also personable, friendly, and genuine. He’s all the traits you would want in a CEO that then trickle down throughout the leadership organization.\u201d<\/p>\n
