SAN FRANCISCO–Great Place to Work and Fortune magazine have honored Thumbtack as one of this year’s Best Workplaces in the Bay Area. This is Thumbtack’s fourth time being named to this prestigious list, coming in at 33rd place. Earning a spot means that Thumbtack is one of the best companies to work for headquartered in the Bay Area.

This year’s Best Workplaces in the Bay Area award is based on employee feedback collected through America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study of over 1 million employee survey responses and data from companies representing more than 6.1 million U.S. employees. In that survey, 94 percent of our employees said Thumbtack is a great place to work. This number is 37 percentage points higher than the average U.S. company.

“Our goal in creating a new virtual-first work culture was to empower employees to thrive professionally and personally while still building meaningful connections at work,” said VP of People at Thumbtack, Jelena Djordjevic. “Even as we’ve expanded our presence to 35 states and counting, San Francisco continues to be an important part of our history and our future. We’re beyond grateful to our employees for helping us celebrate Thumbtack’s culture — right here in San Francisco and beyond.”

The Best Workplaces in the Bay Area list is highly competitive. Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture, selected the list using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. Companies are only considered if they are a Great Place to Work-Certified™ organization headquartered in the Bay Area.

Great Place to Work is the only company culture award in America that selects winners based on how fairly employees are treated. Companies are assessed on how well they are creating a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or what their role is.

“As employee demands and expectations have dramatically changed over the past year, these companies have risen to the occasion—and it’s not been easy,” says Kim Peters, executive vice president of global recognition, research & strategic partnerships at Great Place to Work. “Their hard work and dedication to listen to and care for the well-being of every employee, and support them in a way that’s meaningful to all, is the standard all organizations will be held to.”

This summer, Thumbtack is opening its first-ever custom-built Library in San Francisco, a new in-person concept enabling employees in the Bay Area to gather with colleagues in-person to build connections and do asynchronous virtual work.
