These awards are a testament to that foundation, which continues to attract and retain the best and brightest talent. I'm incredibly proud of our team, and that Smartsheet is being recognized for what I've known to be true—we have an exceptional culture where every employee can flourish.”

"Smartsheet has earned its place among the best of the best leaders, according to employee ratings," said Comparably CEO Jason Nazar.
