We’re extremely excited to announce that Cribl has been recognized as the highest-rated private cloud-computing company to work for in the sixth-ever list released by Battery Ventures, the global, technology-focused investment firm, created with data provided by Glassdoor. The companies in this list represent those where employees report the highest levels of satisfaction at work at a cloud-computing company.

“We want Cribl to be the place where everyone can do their best work. That means making sure our employees consistently have opportunities to try new things, make greater impact, and enjoy their work,” said Clint Sharp, Co-Founder and CEO at Cribl. “Cribl has become a leader in IT and security data, and our success is a reflection of our employees, the culture we’ve built here, and their dedication to our customers.”

To qualify for Battery Ventures’ 2023 list, a cloud company must have received at least 30 company reviews on Glassdoor between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023. The report tracks independent, non-public cloud companies that are based in the United States and have a business-to-business sales model with a software-as-a-service computing model according to Crunchbase. The company also must have more than 200 employees as of September 7, 2023, according to company data provided to LinkedIn; and have raised funding on or after July 1, 2019.

“The companies on this year’s Highest-Rated Cloud-Computing Companies to Work For list have managed to create and preserve stellar corporate cultures during a very tumultuous time in the technology markets—and also as traditional workplace norms, like working in the office, have dramatically shifted post-Covid,” said Neeraj Agrawal, a cloud-computing investor and Battery general partner. “Cultivating employee happiness and satisfaction is more challenging than ever, so we commend this year’s winners for their efforts.”

“Company culture is pivotal for attracting elite talent and sustaining a competitive edge in the marketplace, and its significance becomes even more pronounced in challenging economic times. We hope that all companies featured on this list will take pride in this well-deserved recognition,” added Brandon Gleklen, a Battery principal.

We’re incredibly proud of this honor. At Cribl, we enable our customers to intelligently manage and extract value from massive, rapidly growing volumes of IT and security data. Everyone from our founders all the way to our newest hires is focused on our customers and solving their problems. In order to do that we must have a thriving work environment and strong culture. Even as we’ve scaled to over 500+ Criblanians, we’ve maintained the remote-first culture that we had at 50 people. It all starts with our core values:

• Customers First, Always: First we help customers. Then everything else.
• Irreverent, but Serious: We are a serious company with a love for goats and jokes.
• Curious: We seek to understand problems and the people who have them before taking action
• Transparent: Trust is earned when everyone is on the same page.
• Together: We are collaborative. We are kind. We are open.

Our founders and early employees built the foundation of our company with these values. Without a set of values that seeks to define the culture you want to build, you’ll end up wandering aimlessly as you scale. We’re honored to receive this award as it gives us a marker that we’re on the right track as an employer, and it’s an opportunity for us to continue to evolve our culture to ensure Cribl remains a great place to work for all.Thank you to the Cribl Goats for the honest reviews as well as Battery Ventures for this honor! We’re still hiring across the company, so check out our Careers page for opportunities.

“The company really lives its core values. Everyone here rallies around the same cause and while we can sometimes disagree on how to get there, everybody is rowing in the same direction and ultimately looking for the same outcome. The impression I got about the culture and the team during the interview process turned out to be pretty spot on. There is a lot of humor, a lot of hard work, and an overall good work/life balance.” –Current employee, Cribl
