RateGenius is proud to learn it has been named a winner of the Austin American-Statesman’s annual Top Workplaces award.
Being named a Top Workplace is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey. The confidential survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, culture, and connection.
