The Best Places to Work in IT list is an annual ranking of the top 100 work environments for technology professionals by IDG's Computerworld. The list is compiled based on a comprehensive questionnaire regarding company offerings in categories such as benefits, career development, training and retention. In addition,Computerworld conducts extensive surveys of lT workers, and their responses factor heavily in determining the rankings.
“The market for IT talent remains very tight, and employers continue to focus on finding and holding on to the best people," said Computerworld executive editor Ken Mingis. "Our 2019 survey shows again that the Best Places to Work in IT are dynamic organizations that provide top pay and a broad array of programs and benefits designed to make them attractive places to work. Many show that they have a commitment to training, to diversity and to improved communication and teamwork.”
The Computerworld list of 2019 Best Places to Work in IT list is the latest of many awards recognizing Asurion’s culture and workplace. Earlier this month we were listed as one of Forbes America’s Best-in-State Employers 2019 for the state of Tennessee; we’ve been certified A Great Place to Work® for the last two consecutive years; and were named a Top Workplace in the Nashville area for the past four years in a row.
