SILICON VALLEY, Calif., May 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The San Francisco Business Times and Silicon Valley Business Journal have named Meriwest Credit Union, one of the largest credit unions serving Silicon Valley, a Bay Area ‘Best Place to Work’ for 2023. This is the fourth year in a row that employees of Meriwest have voted the credit union as a best place to work.
On May 4th, 2023, the results of the survey were unveiled for thousands of companies in the Bay Area, ranking the top companies to work for. Among the select employers who won the award, Meriwest was recognized for creating a unique workplace and culture that is highly valued by its employees.
Unlike other awards, the ‘Best Places to Work’ award is distinguished because it is determined solely by each company’s employee rankings. Over thousands of respondents answered questions that were collected for the annual survey, which focused on factors that make a great workplace, such as management practices, a collaborative culture, solid compensation and benefits packages, and other amenities.
“What an honor to be recognized as one of the Best Places to Work among so many outstanding companies,” said Meriwest CEO, Lisa Pesta. “Meriwest employees show a passion for what they do, a passion for our members and for our community. This passion shows up in so many areas – and it’s what defines our ‘People Helping People’ philosophy and makes us who we are today.”
