We have great customers and investors at our side as we change the way developers build communication software.”

Comparably awards are granted to companies with the highest-ranking reviews based on hundreds of culture and growth questions that are submitted anonymously by employees. The final data set was compiled from nearly 10 million ratings across 50,000 U.S. companies.
