HOUSTON (JANUARY 5, 2022) — Beyond Finance, a national debt help leader, was named one of the Top 100 “Best Midsize Places to Work” in Chicago by Built In. The annual awards include companies of all sizes in the eight largest U.S. tech markets.
Beyond Finance, a Houston-based organization, has an office in Chicago with a dedicated team of more than 50 people who make up its technology and marketing functions. This marks the second consecutive year Beyond Finance has been named to this list.
“Not only are we a startup, which allows people to come in and make a difference on their teams, but their work is meaningful,” said Christa Gochenaur, VP of Talent Strategy. “Beyond Finance provides an opportunity for employees to make a difference in people’s lives by moving them beyond debt. You really don’t get that kind of opportunity often in a career.”
Judging was based on algorithmically focused research ranking a company’s compensation, culture programs, and employer benefits. This year’s program weighted criteria more heavily on remote opportunities and diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Built In’s focus was to signify attributes tech professionals search for careers in 2022.
“It is my honor to extend congratulations to the 2022 Best Places to Work winners,” said Built In’s Chief Marketing Officer Sheridan Orr. “This year saw a record number of entrants—and the past two years fundamentally changed what tech professionals want from work. These honorees have risen to the challenge, evolving to deliver employee experiences that provide the meaning and purpose today’s tech professionals seek.”
