Rocketrip Named One of the 100 Best Places to Work in New York City
We’re happy to have some good news to share today. Crain’s New York Business has named Rocketrip one of its 100 Best Places to Work. There are so many great places to work in New York City, including the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, and – depending on how you feel about animal smells – the Bronx Zoo. The fact that none of those places made Crain’s list suggests it really is a remarkable achievement to be included.
In all seriousness, we’re truly honored to be recognized as one of New York’s best workplaces. Rocketrip’s founder and CEO, Dan Ruch, spoke for all of us here when he said:
“Assembling the right team has always been our top priority, as well as the biggest factor behind our growth. At Rocketrip, we’d like to be known as the place people go to do challenging work and build an outstanding career.”

This survey and awards program identifies, recognizes and honors the best employers in New York City, benefiting the city’s economy, workforce and businesses. A list of the 100 organizations named as Best Places to Work in New York City, appeared on Crain’s New York Business on September 28th.
Crain’s New York Business will report, publish and promote the numerical rankings on Friday, December 2nd and in Crain’s New York Business’ print edition on Monday, December 5th. The data was supplied by contracted independent research firm Best Companies Group, which is responsible for the entire registration and survey process, analysis of the data and final rankings.

Organizations making the list will be honored at a celebratory luncheon on December 2nd where the final rankings will be unveiled.

At Rocketrip, we’d like to be known as the place people go to do challenging work and build an outstanding career.”
Companies from across all five boroughs participated in the two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in New York City. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated organization’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems, and demographics. The second part involved an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.
