The annual awards include companies of all sizes, from startups to the enterprise, in the eight largest tech markets and nationally.

“We foster an environment that encourages creativity and innovation with an open and supportive workplace culture," said Chantal Grindle, Chief Human Resources Officer, Bold Commerce. "Expanding to Austin was a highlight for Bold this past year, and we are excited to continue to grow to our team here in 2021 and beyond."

Built In determines winners for Best Places to Work based on an algorithm, using company data about compensation, benefits and cultural programs. To reflect the attributes candidates are searching for on Built In today, this year’s program weighted criteria more heavily, like remote opportunities and programs for diversity, equity and inclusion.
