Once again, The Nerdery is a top Workplace in the Minnesota

Yesterday, the StarTribune published its list of 100 Top Workplaces in Minnesota, and The Nerdery ranked #4 on the list for mid-sized companies. Additionally, they singled us out for going above and beyond, by providing nerds with tons of opportunities and the ability to create their dream job within the company.

At the awards ceremony, Mark Seemann accepted the award on our behalf and gave a small speech about working at The Nerdery:

Nerds in the News: Revenge of the Nerdery

Brendan Sullivan, Star Tribune

Head on over to the StarTribune to read the latest about Nerdery culture and how we like to keep nerds happy and engaged while they work. We told you this was an awesome place to work (and we’re hiring).

As such perks suggest, the company goes out of its way to be as nerd-friendly as possible. The goal at the Nerdery, founded by three programmers in 2003, is to attract other programmers who like collaborating and learning from each other as they tackle seemingly impossible projects. The results have paid off, including placing sixth among small companies, those with 150 employees or fewer, in the Star Tribune’s recent Top Workplaces project.

Go read the entire article so you can find out who called one of the projects we worked on “magic.”

StarTribune survey says: Nerdery is a top workplace

We’re pretty pumped to have been named one of the Top Workplaces in the Twin Cities based on an employee-based survey project from the StarTribune. We ranked #6 on the small company list. Take a gander at The Nerdery page where you can see our strengths, a few pics, and some quotes from nerds who filled out the survey.

The StarTribune’s Top Workplaces list recognizes the most progressive companies in the metro based on employee opinions about company leadership, career opportunities, workplace flexibility, compensation and benefits. The analysis included responses from over 33,000 employees at Minnesota public, private and nonprofit organizations.

Pretty sweet, isn’t it?
