It's official! For the second year in a row, Kong has been certified as a Great Place to Work®! We are thrilled to share that 94% of our employees say that Kong is a great place to work - 35% higher than the average U.S.-based company.

This award is not only a true testament to the inclusive culture we've been focused on building here at Kong, but it is also a very gratifying acknowledgement because the vetting process is based entirely on anonymous feedback shared by employees about their experiences working at Kong, including feedback on Kong's leadership, business practices, culture and workplace environment.

One of our core values is "Global," which we define as being inclusive to work together from anywhere to achieve our common goals. We believe our differences make us stronger. So, after almost doubling in headcount size this past year, we were humbled to see that according to the survey results, 100% of Kongers felt welcomed when they joined the company, 99% believe they can count on their colleagues, and 98% feel proud to tell others they work at Kong. You can read more of this employee feedback here.

Great Places to Work are companies with a high-trust, positive workplace culture where employees can grow and flourish. Kong accomplishes this by making employee experience a top priority through six core values: Be Inclusive; Be Authentic; Be Relentlessly Resourceful; Be Customer-Obsessed; Be Curious; Be an Owner. We focus on creating moments of engagement, even on a global scale. We ensure that Kongers feel valued, supported and empowered to bring their whole selves to work - no matter their tenure, role or where they reside.

Kong Is Recognized as a Great Place to Work!

Kong is a company built and improved by our culture of continuous feedback, so we want to thank our employees for their valuable contributions and commitment to making Kong an amazing place to work!
