World Wide Technology Honored by Glassdoor as One of the Best Places to Work in 2016

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

World Wide Technology, Inc. (WWT), a market leading technology integrator, announced today that it has received a Glassdoor Employees' Choice Award, recognizing the Best Places to Work in 2016. The Employees' Choice Awards program, now in its eighth year, relies solely on the input of employees, who elect to provide feedback on their jobs, work environments and companies via Glassdoor.

"A vibrant culture, the most advanced technology and a longstanding commitment to diversity all contribute to making WWT a rewarding and empowering place to work," said Jim Kavanaugh, chief executive officer of WWT. "We are honored to receive this recognition from our employees and Glassdoor."

"Everyone wants a job and company they love," said Glassdoor co-founder and CEO Robert Hohman. "At Glassdoor, we're working to make that a reality for the millions of job seekers around the world who are turning to Glassdoor for information they can't find anywhere else. Programs like the Employees' Choice Awards allow us to honor employers that stand out for their efforts in providing an enjoyable work environment and culture."

On Glassdoor, current and former employees of companies worldwide can share insights and opinions about their work environments by sharing a company review, designed to capture a genuine and authentic inside look at what it's like to work at particular jobs and companies. When sharing a company review on Glassdoor, employees are asked to rate their satisfaction with the company overall, and key workplace factors like career opportunities, compensation, benefits, work/life balance, senior management, as well as culture and values. In addition, employees are asked to describe the best reasons to work at their companies as well as any downsides.

The Best Places to Work are determined using company reviews shared by U.S. based employees between November 3, 2014 and November 1, 2015. To be considered for the large category, a company must have at least 1,000 or more employees and have received at least 75 company reviews from U.S.-based employees during the window of eligibility. The final list is compiled based on Glassdoor's proprietary algorithm, and takes into account quantity, quality and consistency of reviews.
