Tripwire Added to Oregon Business' List of '100 Best Companies to Work For'

Market Wire, April, 2008

Tripwire, Inc., the leading provider in configuration assessment and auditing solutions, announced this week that it was named one of the 2008 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon, in Oregon Business magazine's annual analysis of the top companies in the state.

More than 25,000 employees at companies across the state filled out confidential surveys to participate in this year's 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon award. Forty-five percent of Tripwire employees filled out the survey in 2008.

"It's an honor to be recognized as a great company to work for," said Tripwire President & CEO Jim Johnson. "Employee satisfaction is the cornerstone of a successful company. Tripwire hires great people who, as the survey results make clear, enjoy coming to work in the morning."

Oregon Business has conducted the annual study of best practices for the last 15 years. The survey has two parts -- a satisfaction survey completed by employees and a benefits survey submitted by company management. Rankings are derived from scores of both parts of the survey, with the employee survey counting for 5/6 of the total score, and the benefit survey counting for the remaining 1/6 of the total score. The 100 Best list recognizes 50 large companies, defined as those with 250 or more employees, and 50 small companies, defined as those with less than 250 employees, for excellence in the following areas: benefits and compensation, work environment; decision-making and trust; performance management; and career development and learning.
