Reston, VA, October 23, 2009 — 5AM Solutions was named as one of the “Great Places to Work” in the Washington DC area by The Washingtonian Magazine. The company was chosen among 200 nominees for the magazine’s biennial “Great Workplaces” feature.
“We’re thrilled 5AM was chosen as one of 50 great places to work in Washington. It is particularly meaningful because the selection emphasizes employee feedback. Our employees are the best measure of our success as a workplace,” said Brent Gendleman, CEO and President of 5AM Solutions, “We’re honored to receive this recognition by both our staff and The Washingtonian Magazine.”
The 50 winners were chosen based on measures including generous pay and benefits, challenging and interesting work, great work-life balance, opportunities to learn and grow, financial stability, commitment to charity and community, and the recognition and respect given to employees.
5AM’s benefits include 100% coverage of health insurance for employees and their families, stock options, telecommunications allowance, flexible work schedule, and time off for volunteering.
