We are excited to announce that phData has again been recognized as a “2024 Best Places to Work” by The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal. This marks our eighth consecutive year of receiving this special honor. Within the past year, we have won this award across three regions: the US, India, and LATAM.
This recognition holds significant meaning for us as it reflects our continuous growth since our establishment in 2014. It serves as a testament to the crucial role played by our exceptional team and the thriving culture we have at phData. From our commitment to remote-first flexibility to our core values that guide us and our investment in the professional development and well-being of our employees, they are the driving force behind our ongoing success.
What is the BPTW Award?
Now in its 26th year, this list recognizes businesses that provide an exceptional work environment, as determined by their personnel through a comprehensive 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 on their company based on culture, communication, efforts, leadership, benefits, and more. After the 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
We deeply desire to understand our technology, each other, and our customers. We strive to learn technology at a 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.
Working with the phData LATAM team is fantastic! Learning from diverse perspectives and backgrounds is rewarding. I enjoy watching our team grow and create something impactful together. The supportive atmosphere and flexible work environment make it an enjoyable experience.
Remote-First Organization
Working remote first allows our employees to have the autonomy to work within their own defined working hours from anywhere in the United States.
While they have the option to work and visit our beautiful workspace in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, our team holds numerous team-building activities via Zoom, including weekly coffee chats, music trivia, holiday parties, lunch and learn presentations, and more. These virtual events ensure our team can maintain relationships and team-building no matter where our team is in the world.
Fast Growing
Between the acquisition of Tessellation in 2021 and growing opportunities with our partners and clients globally, our team has experienced a boom of growth, especially in recent years. In addition to our successful expansion to India in 2017, we are also thrilled about our recent expansion to LATAM (Latin America) in the year 2023.
phData was recently awarded 2024 Snowflake Americas Partner of the Year!
This is our fifth consecutive time earning Partner of the Year status with Snowflake, and we couldn’t be more proud of our team, our clients, and our partnership for making magic again!
This award is one of the highest attainable partner recognitions within the Snowflake AI Data Cloud partner ecosystem and “would not be possible without the dedication, passion, and grit we pour into ensuring our clients succeed with Snowflake,” remarked Ryan Bosshart, CEO of phData.
