Find a Job You Really Want In
Little Rock is also home to a burgeoning tech startup scene with clusters of companies popping up all over the city. The Little Rock Technology Park, originally created in 2007 and envisioned as a way to draw in more tech and startup-based companies to the area, only found its first tenant in late 2016. But though progress began slowly, the city is quickly becoming a Southern technology hub.
Today, Little Rockâs tech sector is growing larger and larger by the day. But with all the new tech companies cropping up everyday, it begs the question: which companies are the best for employees to work for?
We were curious â so, using company scores from websites that aggregate reviews like GlassDoor and Indeed as a baseline, we created our own list of some of the best companies to work for that were based within a 30-mile commute of Little Rock, AR.
The full list can be found further down, but first, hereâs a quick look.
- Apptegy
- First Orion
- Labscoop
- Bark Bar
- Venture Center
Does your company make the cut? Read on to the full list to find out.
