Spilling the Tea: Why ImageX is Consistently Recognized as a Great Place to Work
At ImageX, we’ve always believed that building great websites and digital products starts with building a great workplace. That’s why being certified as a Great Place to Work® five times isn’t just a badge of honor — it’s a testament to our ongoing commitment to our people.
How do we keep the momentum going year after year? What’s behind the consistently strong Employee Satisfaction (ESAT) that helps us earn this recognition? Here’s a peek inside what makes ImageX an organization our team is proud to be part of.
1. We Actually Live Our Values
It’s easy to put words like “positivity,” “collaboration,” and “communication” on a poster. But it’s much harder and far more meaningful to live them every day. At ImageX, our values aren’t just internal lingo; they show up in how we work together, how we support one another, and how we stay connected across time zones and teams.
Our people consistently tell us they feel trusted, heard, and empowered to do their best work, because they are, you may say we’re #succeedingtogether each and every day.
2. Transparency Isn’t Optional, It’s Essential
Open, effective communication is part of our DNA (and it’s one of our values). Whether it’s our weekly all-hands meetings, one-on-ones, or leadership check-ins, we prioritize transparency. Our leadership doesn’t just share the organizational wins, they also share our challenges, and invite input from the wider team on how we see the road ahead.
This openness creates a culture where everyone feels they have a voice and a clear view of where we’re headed at all times, whether positive or challenging.
3. We Truly Prioritize Flexibility and Team Well-Being
We’re a globally distributed team, which means we’ve had to think intentionally about how to create a workplace that works for everyone. For us, that means flexible schedules, embracing asynchronous communication whenever possible, and fostering a culture of trust that everyone manages their time in a way that suits them best.
It also means checking in—not just about tasks and deadlines—but about how people are feeling and what they need. That human-first mindset consistently shows up in our ESAT feedback, and it’s something we never take for granted.
4. We Celebrate People, Not Just Performance
Recognition at ImageX isn’t reserved for big wins. From our Slack "kudos" shoutouts and team appreciations to peer-nominated awards at our yearly summits, we love celebrating one another’s contributions, whether they're big or small.
And beyond the professional, we genuinely care about who our colleagues are as people. Whether someone’s welcoming a new baby, running a marathon, or just sharing a great playlist, we make space for it all. That culture of care is core to who we are as a company.
5. We’re Always Listening (and Improving)
ESAT responses aren’t just survey data—they’re action items. Every quarter we review our feedback closely and build out real plans to address what we hear. That’s led to everything from new learning and development initiatives to clearer career growth paths and improvements in communication.
Our team knows their input doesn’t disappear into a black hole. It drives real change which builds trust and engagement over time. Even when we can’t act on certain feedback right away, we’re transparent about why. That openness helps strengthen the sense of trust and shows that every voice matters.
What It All Adds Up To
We’re proud of the work we do—but we’re even more proud of the people who do it. Earning the Great Place to Work® recognition again is a meaningful milestone, but it’s not the finish line.
It’s a reminder to keep showing up, listening deeply, and building a culture where people feel empowered, supported, and excited to grow.
At ImageX, we succeed together, and that spirit is what makes this recognition possible. We’re grateful to our team for making ImageX what it is, and we’re excited to see what the future holds.
