Sequoia Equities, Inc. Earns 2023 Great Place to Work Certification™

WALNUT CREEK, CA — Sequoia is proud to be Certified™ by Great Place to Work® for the 2nd time. The prestigious award is based entirely on what current team members say about their experience working at Sequoia. This year, 93% of team members said it’s a great place to work – 36 points higher than the average U.S. company.

Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.

"Great Place to Work Certification™ isn’t something that comes easily – it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place to Work. “It’s the only official recognition determined by employees’ real-time reports of their company culture. Earning this designation means that Sequoia is one of the best companies to work for in the country.”

"Sequoia has always been a people first organization. Everything we do is centered around our team members,” says Enrica Suson, Vice President of Human Resources. “We believe that if we take care of our team, everything else will follow. It’s not very difficult to do when we are inspired every day with how much they care for each other and their customers. We are thankful to our team members for making Sequoia a great place to work!”

From Purpose Days to give back, Career Wear gift cards to shop for work clothes, and Rest and Recharge days off to do just that, it’s no surprise that 94% of Sequoia team members said that the perks and benefits are unique. Sequoia continues to explore these avenues for team members to create elevated experiences.
