Onit Joins the 2021 Forbes List of America’s Best Startup Employers

We are excited to announce that Onit ranked #160 on the second-annual Forbes list of America’s Best Startup Employers. Forbes evaluated more than 2,500 companies before paring the list down to 500 total.

Being included is a rewarding recognition of our company’s commitment to creating an engaging work experience for its employees. Our commitment to employees played a sizable role in getting us on the list. At Onit, success is about more than just financial health.  When faced with the “new normal” forced by the pandemic, we kept employees’ well-being front and center with honest communications, fun virtual events, gift cards, care packages and additional time off to ensure mental and physical health.

According to our CEO and co-founder Eric M. Elfman, “The pandemic presented multiple challenges that led us to reevaluate how we do business. But no matter what, we prioritized our employees, protected jobs and continued to hire. We hired more employees in 2020 than in 2019, and we will hire even more this year as we continue to grow.”
