GoodData Among 50 Highest-Rated Private Cloud Companies to Work For

Battery partnered with Glassdoor to highlight the cloud-computing companies where employees report the highest levels of work satisfaction

San Francisco - September 7, 2016 – Global technology investment firm Battery Ventures recently partnered with Glassdoor, the jobs and recruiting marketplace, to produce a list of the “50 Highest Rated Private Cloud Computing Companies to Work For.” Battery, who backs cloud companies but is not a GoodData® investor, is interested in this data since employee satisfaction is one proxy for company health and the list highlights the cloud-computing companies where employees report the highest levels of work satisfaction.

“As a company, we invest heavily in creating a diverse, rewarding, inclusive and fulfilling environment where talented people can perform their best,” said Divya Ghatak, Chief People Officer at GoodData. “Our people are our greatest asset, and we’re thrilled that our team loves where they work enough for us to be ranked highly alongside such outstanding companies by Battery Ventures and Glassdoor.”

Only privately held cloud business-to-business focused companies that received at least 30 company reviews on Glassdoor as of 8/2/16 were considered for the list. The report was based on employee satisfaction rating data from Glassdoor, and includes ratings on the companies overall, CEO Approval, and Positive Business Outlook. Employees at these highly rated companies frequently mention in their Glassdoor reviews that they enjoy working for mission-driven companies with strong and unique company cultures that embrace and promote transparency. They also prefer companies with experienced senior leadership teams who regularly and clearly communicate with their employees.

"This list provides a window into which private, business-focused cloud companies are generating the most excitement among employees -- one key proxy for company health, and part of the broader business trend we see today around transparency on the Internet," said Neeraj Agrawal, a general partner at Battery who specializes in cloud investing. "We look forward to tracking these standouts as they mature and to watching smaller, up-and-coming cloud startups make the list in future years."

GoodData is excited to be included in this impressive list as it proves our focus on company culture, benefits, mission and core product focus is paying back in dividends.
