Sprout Social ranked #3 on Battery Venture’s 25 Highest Rated Public Cloud Computing Companies to Work for

CHICAGO, Dec. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sprout Social, an industry-leading provider of cloud-based social media management software, has been recognized as one of the 25 Highest Rated Public Cloud Computing Companies To Work For by Battery Ventures, with data provided by Glassdoor. The list highlights 25 publicly traded companies—all business-to-business, cloud-computing companies—where employees reported the highest levels of satisfaction at work during the 12 months ended Oct. 31, according to employee feedback shared on Glassdoor.

This recognition marks the fifth consecutive year Sprout has been placed on the list, and this year Sprout ranked third on the list of 25. Sprout’s ratings far exceeded Glassdoor averages across the board, with an overall company rating of 4.8 compared to the Glassdoor average of 3.3 as well as a 98% positive business-outlook rating—indicating the percentage of employees who believe their employer’s business will get better in the next six months—compared to the Glassdoor average of 54%.

This is the fifth year Battery has issued a version of its highest-rated cloud companies list, along with a related ranking of the 25 Highest Rated Private Cloud Computing Companies To Work For. The rankings—which this year come as many companies continue to face workplace challenges associated with the Covid-19 pandemic, including remote and hybrid work—highlight the global trend of businesses increasingly turning to the cloud to run critical technology systems and software, instead of using on-premise systems.

“While the pandemic has accelerated the businesses of many cloud companies—whose products often help fuel digital transformation—many cloud CEOs are still grappling with how to build great corporate cultures, hire the best employees and retain them in an incredibly fast-changing and unpredictable business environment,” said Neeraj Agrawal, a Battery Ventures general partner who specializes in cloud investing. “The companies on this list should feel proud of their success in building positive cultures and promoting employee satisfaction, which often translates into financial success. They really are modeling best practices for other organizations across the economy.”

“We are honored to be recognized by Battery Ventures for a fifth year and are inspired by our team’s ability to embrace change, while continuing to deliver an unmatched experience for our customers,” said Ryan Barretto, President of Sprout Social. “Investing in our people has always been a top priority at Sprout and is a key factor in our success. When our team members know they are supported, they can focus on building a powerful product while solving the hard problems our customers are faced with each day.”
