Mindtickle Named One of The 50 Highest Rated Private Cloud Computing Companies To Work For

Mindtickle, the leader in Sales Readiness technology, was recognized as one of the 50 Highest Rated Private Cloud Computing Companies To Work For, in a list released by Battery Ventures, a global investment firm and cloud investor, with data specifically provided by Glassdoor*, one of the world’s largest job and recruiting sites.” The list highlights 50 privately held companies—all business-to-business, cloud-computing companies–where employees report the highest levels of satisfaction at work, according to employee feedback shared on Glassdoor. This recognition follows a 2019 Stevie® Award for Sales & Customer Service for ‘Best Sales Enablement Solution’ and a recent report from Aragon Research which named Mindtickle a Leader in their Tech Spectrum for Sales Coaching and Learning.

Mindtickle is honored to be named as one of the highest rated cloud companies to work for by employees. This recognition is a testament to the ongoing investment in our employees, which drives our continued success as an organization,” said Krishna Depura, Co-founder and CEO of Mindtickle. “One of Mindtickle’s founding principles is to delight customers by being customer-obsessed, and this would be impossible without the most talented and engaged employees. We encourage each member of our team to act as a founder of the company which empowers them to be creative, innovative and entrepreneurial. Every single member of our global team is critical in building this world-class organization together and delivering the greatest Sales Readiness platform for our growing list of enterprise customers.”

This is the third year Battery has issued the list, along with a related ranking of the 25 Highest Rated Public Cloud Computing Companies to Work For. The rankings highlight the broader trend of businesses increasingly turning to the cloud to run critical technology systems and software, instead of using on-premise systems.

They also highlight the increasing importance of cohesive culture and employee happiness in running a successful business, said Neeraj Agrawal, a Battery general partner who specializes in cloud investing.

“The private companies on this list have not only scaled their products, teams and business functions—but they’ve managed to scale culture,” Agrawal said. “We view these rankings as a key indicator of company health and longevity, and we hope all companies on this list view it as an honor to be included.” It was also more difficult to make the list this year, compared with last year, Agrawal added. A Glassdoor economic research study, as well as other third-party studies, show that companies with high employee satisfaction often post stronger financial performance.

The distinction placed Mindtickle at number 29 (out of 50 total) with an overall company rating of 4.6. The broader average across Glassdoor is 3.4. Mindtickle’s CEO, Krishna Depura, boasts a 100% approval rating on Glassdoor—compared to an average of 69% for all approximately 900,000 employers on the site–and the company has a 97 percent positive business-outlook rating, again based on the feedback shared by employees. The broader Glassdoor average is 49%. A positive business outlook means employees believe business will improve in the next six months.

Glassdoor noted that employees at these highly rated companies commonly mention in online reviews that they enjoy working for mission-driven companies with strong and unique company cultures; employers that promote transparency; and companies with experienced senior leaders who regularly and clearly communicate with employees. For instance, according to one anonymous employee review of Mindtickle on Glassdoor:

“They have their people, product and positioning nailed down. A few of the best people to work with who are passionate to listen to their customers. Extremely customer-centric and driven to delight their customers at every given opportunity. This is validated through the results and growth of the company. It’s only the beginning! They have a wonderful path carved out for themselves as a leader in a niche market.”
