24 Jun The Washington Post Names Criterion Systems a 2019 Top Washington-Area Workplace
VIENNA, Va., June 24, 2019 – Criterion Systems has been named one of The Washington Post’s 2019 Top Workplaces in the Washington, D.C. area. Selection is based solely on employee feedback gathered through an anonymous third-party survey administered by research partner Energage, LLC, which measured several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution, and connection. This year’s list honors more than 150 companies including government contractors, law firms, nonprofits, schools, and businesses.
“Now in its sixth year, The Post’s Top Workplaces list continues to reflect companies in the region that cultivate a connection with their workforce,” said Washington Post Top Workplaces editor Dion Haynes. “It’s clear from the survey that these organizations share a commitment to providing support and an environment that makes employees feel valued and respected.”
“Criterion’s culture celebrates the combination of outstanding technical skills and an entrepreneurial spirit. Companies are built with people, not desks and chairs, and Criterion takes care of its people,” stated Promod Sharma, CEO of Criterion Systems. “Our employees are dedicated, believe in our customers’ missions, and do their utmost to help them succeed. I’d like to thank them for helping me build a cyber company worth recognizing.”
The Washington Post hosted an awards ceremony on Thursday, June 20 to recognize the top-ranked companies. For more about The Washington Post’s Top Workplaces and to see the full list of this year’s honorees, visit https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/business/top-workplaces/.
