We are a team working as hard as we can to deliver results to our clients, but we also are a family; we look out for each other and we recognize each other's individuality and their unique circumstances and customize to make it easier for those folks to do their best, rather than insisting on a one-size-fits-all framework that doesn't work for anyone.

Intuit Inc.
- Information Technology
- Mountain View, CA, US
What employees are saying
I have never worked for a company that truly values it's employees work/life balance the way that Intuit does. Any time I've run into a hardship and I'm not sure what to do, someone here tells me "oh we have a benefit for that" and it's mind blowing. For example, our child care provider is going on a month long vacation. I had no idea what to do, then I found out about out Backup Care benefit.

Protiviti
- Professional Services
- Menlo Park, CA, US
What employees are saying
The amazingly unique thing about Protiviti is that you are made to feel welcome from day 1 and that feeling simply never changes. At past work environments, I sensed a feeling of clique-ness among coworkers which created a hostile work environment and made many employees feel uncomfortable. I am very glad that Protiviti is the opposite and makes every single employee feel welcomed and special not just from day 1, but throughout the entirety of your employment.

Robert Half International Inc.
- Professional Services
- San Ramon , CA, US
What employees are saying
I think it's difficult for a large corporation to make people feel like valued individuals and Robert Half is so successful at that. Whether it's individual teams making time to do things to support the community, host team building events, lunches to celebrate accomplishments and milestones or organization wide events and the employee network groups, Robert Half creates a sense of community that helps us each take ownership and pride in what we do overall. I've had a unique opportunity to work with and support a multitude of teams lately and it's certainly not unique to just one team, but embraced company wide.

HP Inc.
- Information Technology
- Palo Alto, CA, US
What employees are saying
What makes HP special is the people who work here including our CEO. The people I have worked with have never been stingy or hesitant or selfish about sharing knowledge and their time. People are happy to collaborate and learn together. Anytime I need help or information, people I reach out to are always willing to take the time to have a conversation to help me out.

CrowdStrike
- Information Technology

What employees are saying
Management is far more supportive than I expected. I've been working in corporate America for over 20 years now and this is the first place I've worked where management at all levels seems to make employee concerns a priority. I've yet to speak with anyone in the company at any level who didn't seem to honestly listen to and attempt to assist which whatever concern I had.
