Smartsheet Named Amongst Highest Rated Private Cloud Companies to Work For

Leading SaaS provider selected at number 15 in first-ever ranking of B2B companies with highest levels of employee work satisfaction

BELLEVUE, Wash. – August 30th, 2016Smartsheet, the work management and process automation platform used by tens of thousands of companies worldwide, has been selected as a ‘Highest Rated Private Cloud Company to Work For’ in a new, ranked list by Battery Ventures, a global investment firm that backs cloud companies, and Glassdoor, the world’s most transparent jobs and recruiting marketplace. The distinction placed Smartsheet at number 15 (of 50 total) with an overall company rating of 4.6 (the average across all of Glassdoor being 3.3) and a 100% approval rating of CEO, Mark Mader, based on company ratings shared by employees.

As a signal of overall company health, the list was comprised of privately held firms with 200 or more employees, across a broad range of business services. It also included employees’ views on how their company’s business will perform in the next six months, as well as data on whether they approve or disapprove of their company’s CEO. The ranking factored funding raised in the last three years and was inclusive of companies that were B2B focused instead of providing consumer services.

“Smartsheet’s growth has been fueled by a world-class team that’s committed to redefining the way that people, teams, and enterprises produce and deliver their best work,” said Mark Mader, CEO of Smartsheet. “This recognition serves as a testament to the collective effort of our entire team in building high-value solutions for the marketplace, and supporting the company’s long-term mission of helping the world work better.”

Employee reviews on Glassdoor frequently speak to Smartsheet’s top-notch talent, passionate and accessible senior leadership, “amazing” company culture, belief in the product, and optimism about the company’s future growth

According to one anonymous employee review on Glassdoor: “[Smartsheet has an] outstanding product, tremendous market opportunity and a solid strategy in place to achieve success and growth quarter over quarter. Strong emphasis on accountability, a true sense that ‘we're all in this together’ and that every contribution counts. Senior leadership team is very approachable and seems genuinely invested in building a great company.”

Smartsheet’s selection in this new list adds to previous employee satisfaction awards, which include two consecutive years of being named among the ‘100 Best Companies to Work For’ in 2014 and 2015 by Seattle Business Magazine.
