What We Love

To help its employees achieve work life balance, this Web services company offers five on-site gyms with free fitness classes, provides nap rooms and massage chairs in every location and grants workers up to five paid days off per year to volunteer. Moms relax by strolling the company’s pretty outdoor paths, biking and running with its in-house clubs and playing soccer and volleyball near their office buildings. If they yearn for education, they can check out 75 “UnUniversity” courses on a variety of cool topics, from innovations in technology to hula-hooping for fitness; college tuition aid (worth an average of $6,881 per year) is also available. Workers at all locations attend seminars and classes on pre-conception fertility, pregnancy, Lamaze and child rearing.
