B E S T P L A C E S TO W O R K 2 0 2 0 17 Yokogawa Fluid Imag- ing Technologies, Inc. As a relatively flat organization, Fluid Imaging Technologies employ- ees are invested in the success of the company, resulting in a strong sense of teamwork. This carries over to winter and summer outings and excursions planned by se- nior management—from team curling lessons and painting classes to pontoon boat lakeside picnics and Sea Dog baseball games. The company provides a relaxed work environment, where independent thinking is encour- aged and employees aren't micro-man- aged. A beautiful outdoor space with patio furniture and a gas grille promotes conversation among co-workers. A well- ness initiative provides fresh fruit daily, a monthly guest speaker to talk about physical and emotional wellness topics, and flex time so employees can work out at lunch time. www.fluidimaging.com Blue Marble Geographics Blue Marble is a place to work for those who want to be involved in cut- ting-edge technology development and have a passion for GIS. There's always something new to learn—and an en- during team camaraderie that makes the job all the more fulfilling. All teams have a clear direction and vision, fostering active and meaningful communica- tion between employees. As a company that's open to fresh thinking, employees can bring questions and challenges to anyone in the company, since there's little hierarchy. Everyone is willing to roll up their sleeves and dive in. On top of that, there's the chance to travel to unique and exciting places around the world to showcase Blue Marble software. Tenured staff can even bring family members. www.bluemarblegeo.com Great Works Internet Length of Service Awards, handed out each quarter, range from $25 to $250 depending upon the number of years employed.
