Walnut Creek, CA — Great Place to Work® and Fortune magazine honored Sequoia as one of the 2021 Best Small & Medium Workplaces™. This is the first time Sequoia has been named to this prestigious list, with a ranking of 39.
The Best Small & Medium Workplaces™ award is based on analysis of survey responses from more than 280,000 current employees across employers nationwide. In that survey, 96% of Sequoia team members said Sequoia is a great place to work compared with only 59% at similarly sized U.S. based companies.
"Sequoia’s culture lies within the hearts of those who make up the very fabric of our existence. Our team members, who are our greatest and most precious resource, have a place they can feel safe and enjoyable. While this award represents another “win” for Sequoia, the powerful message that comes directly from their responses has insurmountable impacts in how we move forward as an organization,” says Rita Crawford, Vice President of Portfolio Management.
The Best Small & Medium Workplaces list is highly competitive. Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture, selected the list using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. Companies were only considered if they are a Great Place to Work-Certified™organization.
Great Place to Work is the only company culture award in America that selects winners based on how fairly employees are treated. Companies are assessed on how well they are creating a great employee experience spanning race, gender, age, disability status, among others.
"These companies may be small in size, but their impact and commitment to improving employee experience stacks up against some of the world’s largest corporations,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work®. “Their ability to scale business while maintaining a high level of employee care is nothing short of amazing. A job well done to the Best Small & Medium Workplaces.”
