Westlake Company Makes Forbes' Best Employers List

WESTLAKE, OH — Hyland Software is one of the nation's best midsize employers, according to Forbes’ annual rankings of best employers in the country. The software developer has a long history of racking up awards for being a great place to work.

Forbes’ rankings were released on Tuesday and include 500 companies that have at least 1,000 employees. Hyland was placed at No. 39 of 500. That's pretty impressive.

Last year, Fortune named Hyland one of the best 100 companies in America. The Westlake-based firm was one of only two Northeast Ohio companies to make the list (the other being Quicken Loans).

Hyland's expansive campus features a barber's shop, slides, on-site daycare, a full-sized basketball court, an arcade, billiards, and a games room. Employees are mostly decked out in T-shirts and jeans, giving the campus the feel of a hard working college dormitory.

The company currently has about 2,154 employees, according to Forbes.

Forbes partnered with market research company Statista to compile the list. Statista surveyed 30,000 people, asking respondents to rate how likely they’d be to recommend their employer to others, Forbes explains. Respondents were also asked to nominate organizations outside of their own, according to Forbes.
