We are thrilled to share The Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal has named phData as a “2022 Best Places to Work” for the sixth consecutive year.
Recognitions like this are very close to our hearts as we continue to rapidly grow since our founding in 2014. These past few years have proven that success is driven by the people and culture that we foster. From offering flexible remote-first working to values we hold as our compass to investing in our employees’ careers and well-being, our employees are at the forefront of our success.
What is the BPTW Award?
This list, now in its 24th year, highlights businesses that offer an exceptional work environment according to their personnel via a survey.
Once a company applies for the award and meets the entry criteria, a survey is sent out on behalf of the Minneapolis/St.Paul Business Journal to employees. The survey is meant to gauge employee feedback of their company based on culture, communication, efforts, leadership, benefits, and more. Afterthe survey results are in, BPTW determines honorees and later announces winners.
What Our Employees Love About phData
Since 2014, the phData team has emphasized the employee experience. As we continue to grow our team globally, one facet withstands our ever-changing industry: the prioritization of our employees.
As we face new challenges and opportunities, we continue to adapt to ensure the best environment to cultivate a community of learning, innovation, and development.
Our Values
What sets phData apart from the rest is the core values that navigate our decision-making, prioritization, and innovative practices. Our core values, Psychological Safety, Curiosity, Grit, and Community are the wind behind our sails throughout every success and challenge.
Psychological Safety
Together, we create a climate where it’s safe to take risks and be vulnerable. This allows us to be creative, make mistakes, and speak up about ideas or ask questions without fear of being embarrassed or punished. Psychological safety leads to an environment that truly fosters learning, innovation, and teamwork.
Curiosity
There is a deep desire to understand our technology, each other, and our customers. We strive to learn technology at a deep, fundamental level. We are passionate about better understanding each other and our customers so that we can deliver the technical and business outcomes they need.
Grit
Grit is a mixture of intense passion and intense perseverance. We take creative approaches to design solutions and are dedicated to following through until the problem is solved. Grit allows us to solve our customers’ most complex problems and deliver superior results.
Community
We are better as a whole than as individuals. We appreciate and bring together our different expertise, perspectives, and ideas to develop better, more well-rounded solutions. We support, challenge, and encourage each other along the journey.
“What I enjoy most about working for phData is the culture of growth and grit. I get to work on projects that provide our clients with meaningful value, and there’s always something new to learn.

These virtual events ensure our team can maintain relationships and team-building no matter where our team is in the world.
