ATLANTA, GA - June 17, 2025, Katalon is proud to be named to Inc.’s 2025 Best Workplaces list 2025. This prestigious recognition celebrates American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company cultures - whether in-person or remote.
100% employee engagement: A testament to a great culture
The award process involved a detailed employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace, covering critical elements such as management effectiveness, perks, professional development, and overall company culture. Each company’s benefits were also audited to determine the overall score and ranking. Katalon is honored to be included among the 514 companies recognized this year and featured on Inc.com.
This recognition is particularly meaningful as it is directly derived from employee feedback, a powerful testament to the thriving culture fostered within Katalon. Survey results indicate a deeply engaged workforce, with all respondents reporting as engaged employees, and a significant majority classifying themselves as "highly engaged." Furthermore, the company's benefits package was rated notably higher than the average for peer organizations or average same-size finalists within the region.
