(www.attenex.com), a leading developer of content analysis software for electronic discovery, today announced that it has been named a finalist as one of the best companies to work for in the state of Washington by Washington CEO magazine. Washington CEO initiated the annual Best Companies to Work For event 15 years ago in order to find and spotlight those companies that represent workplace excellence in areas ranging from communication and leadership to rewards and recognition.
“It’s an incredible honor to be named one of Washington’s Best Companies to Work For by Washington CEO magazine,” said CEO of Attenex Brian Schlosser. “In a market with such recognizable brands, receiving this honor is a testament to our initiative and dedication to provide Attenex employees with competitive perks and a great working environment.

- Employee Referral Bonus: Offers $2,000 for referring a candidate that gets hired
- Service Award: Employees are recognized with gifts beginning at 5 years of service
- Patent Incentive Award: A cash bonus plus stock option award for innovative ideas

- President’s Club: Two employees, nominated by their peers for making a significant contribution to the company’s revenue growth during the year, join top sales performers at a four-day, company sponsored trip.
Additional perks include comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short and long-term disability, 401k, stock options and an annual bus pass to encourage use of mass transit in commuting.
Washington CEO’s Best Company to Work For invites every company with employees in Washington State to participate in an initial nomination process. Each company is then required to complete an employee survey, which captures employees’ opinions about their work environment, in order to measure workplace strengths and weaknesses. An independent panel of judges reviews these profiles, determining the finalists and top companies in a variety of categories, such as small, medium and large company-size, small not-for-profit/government organizations and large not-for-profit/government agencies. The July issue of Washington CEO magazine will feature a complete list of finalists as well as profiled winners.
