Awarded on the heels of Series B funding, continued growth, and staff expansion
Vendr, the world’s first SaaS buying platform, announced that it has been named a Certified Great Place to Work for the first time this year. Great Place to Work is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention, and increased innovation. The prestigious award is based entirely on current employee experiences working at the organization, with 88% of Vendr employees deeming the business a great place to work – 31 points higher than the average U.S. company.
The news comes on the heels of the company’s recent $150MM Series B––which brought the company into Unicorn status and continues to enable Vendr to hire extraordinary people across the U.S.––and its acquisition of SaaS management company, Blissfully, earlier this year.
