<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Best Company Outlook: Measures how confident employees feel about the future success of their company, how likely they are to recommend working there to a friend (eNPS &ndash; employee Net Promoter Score), and how excited they are to go to work.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Best Company to Work for in the Bay Area: Measures how employees in the Bay Area rate their overall workplace experiences in 16 different metrics (compensation, leadership, co-workers, work- life balance, career growth, perks &amp; benefits, etc).</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Best HR Team: Measures how employees from specific departments rate their workplace experiences in 16 different metrics (compensation, leadership, co-workers, work-life balance, career growth, perks &amp; benefits, etc).</li>
</ul>
DataStax&rsquo;s three wins were determined from a final data set compiled from over 15 million ratings across 70,000 companies.
&ldquo;Based on the company&rsquo;s A + culture score, DataStax employees clearly see the company as a great place to work and are excited about its future,&rdquo; said Jason Nazar, CEO of Comparably.&nbsp;
Recent data shows that employees are <a href="https://www.achievers.com/gb/resources/white-papers/2020-culture-report/">400%</a> more likely to be engaged when they align with their company&rsquo;s values. DataStax employees helped the company achieve over 400% YoY growth of Astra DB, winner of this year&rsquo;s Data Breakthrough Award, and win the esteemed Northface ScoreBoard Award for stellar customer service.&nbsp;
DataStax places four core values at the forefront of every decision made: Obsess over developers and enterprises, be an owner, execute thoughtfully with speed, and cultivate diversity and inclusion. Comparably&rsquo;s recognition highlights how deeply these principles are enmeshed in DataStax&rsquo;s culture.&nbsp;
&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve worked really hard to build an awesome culture and experience at DataStax. It starts with being mission-oriented. We are all committed to striving toward something larger than ourselves &ndash; serving real-time applications with an open data stack that just works. And we do this by living our values every day, during every project, and in every interaction. I am really proud of the culture we&rsquo;ve created together and grateful to every DataStax employee who is contributing to our journey,&rdquo; said Chet Kapoor, CEO of DataStax.&nbsp;
