So, we’ve been publishing lists of the best tech companies to work for in areas across the country to help point them in the right direction.

Whether you end up at one of these companies, or somewhere else, just know that with your new skill set—and a bit of hard work on your part—a whole world of possibilities will be open to you. So without further ado, here are our picks for the Coolest Companies in Phoenix, listed in alphabetical order.

With a mission to make student financial aid affordable, simple and more transparent, CampusLogic is a company with a mission that everyone can get behind. But the benefits of working for this company do not end there. As shown by its near-perfect Glassdoor rating, employees love the hiring and onboarding process, culture, and company values. If you are looking for flashier perks, they have those, too—including basketball hoops, ping pong, and free snacks, which is why we consider it one of the top companies in Phoenix.

Fresh off of a Best Place to Work award in 2017, Carvana has the hardware to back up its place on the list. And that award is more than justified; Carvana prides itself on hiring quality character over skill set “every single time.” Employees have noticed the difference this makes, noting the fun, fast-paced work environment, great people to work with and, well, Waffle Wednesdays as the best reasons to work there.

And it’s not just their customers who are happy—Gainsight is bolstered by great employees, reportedly excellent management, and a 4.5 star rating on Glassdoor. How do you know they are a cool company to work for? Well, their San Francisco base was named one of the coolest companies in the bay area just a couple of years ago.

You may recognize GoDaddy from their out-of-the-box Super Bowl ad campaigns, but what you might not know is how great GoDaddy is as a company to work for. Based in Chandler, GoDaddy provides good pay, great benefits, nicely furnished offices, and perks such as travel discounts, on-campus gyms, subsidized meals, and so on.

Former Identity Protection Services Leader, LifeLock is a great company and a great place to work. Based in Scottsdale, LifeLock was recently acquired by Symantec, but the cool factor has not suffered on bit. LifeLock is in a great location, offers good benefits, and employees enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, growth opportunities, and good work-life balance.

Another Scottsdale-based company, Plexus Worldwide is home to hundreds of employees who, incidentally, use that very word to describe it: home. Except this home happens to offer generous compensation, full benefits, and weekly prize drawings for its residents. It was recently named Arizona’s fastest growing privately-owned company, and it’s easy to see why.

RetailMeNot is a huge global company with roots all around the world, including Phoenix.

Take it from someone who works there: “Some part of my work is fun every day, and a large part of that is due to company culture and nature of the business.” This definitely makes it a standout for one of the best places to work in Phoenix.
