"We're grateful to be part of Comparably’s 50 best places to work,” said Widen CEO Matthew Gonnering. “Culture is the not-so-secret way we create awesome customer experiences. Lookout, we're just getting started."

The Comparably rankings cap off an exceptional 2017 for Widen. In September, Madison Magazine named the DAM provider a “Best Place to Work” for the third consecutive year. In April, Widen recertified as a WorldBlu Freedom-Centered Workplace for the third year in a row.

Matthew Gonnering joined Widen in 2000 and became CEO in 2009. Since then, he has reshaped the role of CEO into “Chief Eudaimonia Officer.” Eudaimonia, the Greek word for ‘human flourishing,’ has become the soul of Widen’s culture. It has helped the company achieve the highest levels customer growth, employee satisfaction, and community impact in its 69-year history. 

Comparably is a platform that provides comprehensive data on company culture, careers, and compensation. Their team analyzed more than 3 million employee ratings on 30,000 US companies to identify the best places to work. Comparably ranked the best large companies (500 or more employees) and the best small-to-midsize companies (fewer than 500). Widen was the only pure-play DAM provider to make either list.

“Comparably's annual Best Places to Work list represents the top 50 companies among thousands of U.S. businesses,” said Jason Nazar, CEO, Comparably.com. “This prestigious award showcases the best overall company cultures as rated by their own employees. Team members leave the most comprehensive ratings and reviews to help Comparably determine the most in-depth and accurate account of the best places to work. These honorees stand out as the best of the best, reflecting the most stellar teams, leaders, compensation, and benefits.”
