During the past year, the state of the modern workplace has drastically changed. Bay Area businesses went from office spaces to home offices and from in-person meetings to video conferencing. But when our NextRoll team transitioned away from our San Francisco HQ and out of our other four offices, supporting our people and upholding connections between coworkers remained a top priority.

It’s this continued focus on culture, people, and flexibility that placed NextRoll on the San Francisco Business Times’ “Best Places to Work in the Bay Area” list for the eighth year in 2021! Our recognition is based on survey results from Rollers, who rated us on values like a collaborative culture, compensation and benefits, and management practices. 

To celebrate eight years as one of the “Best Places to Work in the Bay Area,” we spoke with eight different Rollers and asked: 

What do you love about working at NextRoll?

Brujo Benavides, Staff Engineer (Remote, Spain)

One of the things I love the most about working at NextRoll is the freedom I have to organize my schedule and my tasks to reach both the company and my personal goals.

I feel that NextRoll trusts me as a professional, and I know my contributions are valued.

Phil Carney, Manager II, Account Management (New York)

NextRoll excels in investing in their employee’s professional and personal development. Throughout my time here, I have been impressed by both the opportunities for advancement and the chance to explore cross-functional areas of interest to broaden employees’ experience and exposure across different parts of the business.

Anna Corso, Customer Success Manager - In Life (Dublin, Ireland)

I started my new role as a Customer Success Strategist in January 2021, and I was a bit worried because starting a new job remotely is not really easy to do! I have to say that the onboarding process was great, and my manager Skyler and the CS team supported me a lot! What do I love about working at NextRoll? I like the sense of belonging and the fact that each person’s ideas matter. We are all involved in different projects, and we constantly help each other grow in the same direction, and the fun part is also an important factor in the company!! Since I started, I attended different workshops and activities that helped me integrate with the team and with all the Dublin office’s colleagues.

Carson Fackrell, Sr. Channel Account Executive (Remote)

I love working at NextRoll because I have control over an amazing work-life balance that provides an incredible life outside of work for my family based on the hard work I do inside the workplace. 

Also, having a truly great leader as my manager who provides clear insights and expectations while letting me be free and able to do my job how I know best. 

Most importantly, NextRoll gave me a chance to succeed. Over the years, the company, my manager, and my team have been there through the ups and downs, and they helped my sales career soar.

Sophia Luu, Principal Account Manager (Sydney, Australia)

Having worked at NextRoll for four years, I love nothing more than the growth culture! There is an endless amount of support from management, peers, and programs within the company to truly reach your potential. With all that’s been happening in the past year, we’ve also seen the company’s flexibility in a way that ensures we have enough space to continue developing outside of our day-to-day jobs.
