At People10, work is more than a job—it’s where people grow, ideas matter, and futures are built. We’re proud to be Great Place to Work® Certified™ for the fourth year (Aug 2025–Aug 2026). This recognition reflects our culture of trust, collaboration, and innovation—where engineering excellence and human potential thrive side by side.

For us, this achievement is not about the badge alone. It is about the commitment to sustain a culture where people bring their best selves to work, create transformative solutions, and build meaningful careers.

About Great Place to Work®

Great Place to Work® (GTPW) is the global authority on workplace culture, employee engagement, and leadership. For over three decades, it has surveyed millions of employees across industries and countries. Its research identifies the key drivers that create high-trust, high-performance organizations.

The certification is awarded based on anonymous employee feedback and independent analysis of workplace practices. It is one of the most respected benchmarks for evaluating employee experience worldwide. Each year, over 10,000 organizations across industries partner with GPTW to measure, improve, and sustain thriving work cultures.

People10’s Journey to Great Place to Work® Certification

The GPTW certification process is rigorous. Surveys are conducted anonymously to capture the authentic voice of employees. At People10, the results consistently validate our efforts to create an environment of trust, inclusivity, and opportunity.

This year, we are particularly encouraged by the consistency of our results across key dimensions, including trust in leadership, fairness, collaboration, and career development. Employees highlighted that they feel valued, empowered, and trusted to innovate. These results reinforce that culture at People10 is not accidental. It is the outcome of deliberate practices and leadership commitment.

• Individuals leading organizational initiatives that expand both technical and managerial skills.

This approach ensures that careers at People10 are not linear. They are dynamic, adaptive, and deeply rewarding.

Open Leadership and Collaboration

Our leadership philosophy is built on accessibility and empowerment. People10 operates with an open-door culture that encourages employees to share ideas, feedback, and aspirations freely. Employees engage directly with leadership through:

• One-to-one mentorship sessions.
• Regular brainstorming forums and team huddles.
• Platforms to propose and lead new initiatives.

This accessibility fosters ownership. Employees do not just execute ideas,  they shape them, drive them, and see them create impact.

Strong Culture of Trust and Autonomy

Autonomy and accountability go hand in hand at People10. Teams are empowered to experiment, innovate, and take ownership of outcomes. This culture removes micromanagement and instead reinforces responsibility and trust.

As a result, employees consistently highlight that they feel both trusted and supported. They are encouraged to solve problems independently, with leadership guidance available when needed. This balance strengthens confidence and unlocks innovation.

Work-life balance is essential for sustained performance. At People10, benefits extend beyond the best workplace to support families and personal priorities.

Key programs include:

• Flexible work hours and hybrid arrangements.

• Extended maternity leave and returnship programs.
• Paternity leave and family-first benefits.

These policies ensure employees can navigate different life stages without compromising on career growth or well-being.

Innovation and Engineering Excellence

Great workplaces inspire not only collaboration but also innovation. At People10, employees work on projects that transform enterprises across industries. Teams engage with AI, cloud, IoT, blockchain, and digital engineering frameworks to solve complex business challenges.

Our CoE Club (Centers of Excellence) brings employees together to lead focused initiatives across AI, Cloud, DevOps, Quality, and Emerging Tech. These communities of practice create space for experimentation, structured learning, and solution acceleration. Through the CoE Club, employees contribute reusable frameworks, best practices, and accelerators that directly impact client success.

Innovation hubs provide employees with the space to experiment, prototype, and learn emerging technologies. This blend of real-world delivery and experimental exploration creates an employee culture where innovation is continuous and excellence is measurable.
