The competition to become one of the Best & Brightest Companies to Work For in San Francisco Bay Area has always been strong.
And the companies vying for the honor this year didn’t disappoint, as the Best & Brightest Programs honored more than two dozen of the Bay Area’s best companies.

“The Best and Brightest is a powerful community of elite leaders who share ideas and practices, and have proven they are employers of choice. Best and Brightest winning companies have also been a voice for important actions in creating a sustainable culture that works, ensuring the wellbeing of their employees come first,” said Jennifer Kluge, President and CEO, Best and Brightest Programs.
The categories applicants were scored on include: Compensation, Benefits and Employee Solutions; Employee Enrichment, Engagement and Retention; Employee Education and Development; Recruitment, Selection and Orientation; Employee Achievement and Recognition; Communication and Shared Vision; Diversity and Inclusion; Work-Life Balance; Community Initiatives; and Strategic Company
Performance.
Three companies were honored as “Elite” winners during the ceremony:
