MountainOne has been named a 2026 Best Places to Work by the Boston Business Journal in the Medium Business category (100–249 employees), marking the second consecutive year the organization has earned this recognition.
The Boston Business Journal’s annual ranking showcases Massachusetts companies that have built outstanding work environments for their employees. The 90 companies honored in 2026 represent a range of industries, including financial services, technology, retail, and health care.
“We believe when people feel seen, supported, and connected, it shows in how they support one another and serve our communities,” said Beth Petropulos, Senior Vice President, Senior HR and SAFE Act Officer at MountainOne. “Being named a Best Places to Work is especially meaningful because it reflects the experiences of our Mountaineers and the culture they create every day. Earning this recognition for the second year in a row makes it even more special.”
“This year’s companies once again have set the bar for employees looking to retain their top talent,” said Carolyn Jones, Market President and Publisher of the Boston Business Journal. “In such a competitive hiring environment, the Best Places to Work employers continue to outshine their peers and competitors.”
Businesses participated in employee-engagement surveys distributed by Business Journal partner Quantum Workplace. Employees were asked to rate their work environment, work-life balance, job satisfaction, advancement opportunities, management, compensation, and benefits.Based on the results of those surveys, businesses were assigned a total score and overall ranking by Quantum.
The Best Places to Work celebration will be held in-person on June 11th at The Westin Copley Place from 5:30pm – 8:30pm. A special publication will appear in the June 12th weekly edition of the Boston Business Journal.
