[November 12, 2009] The Boston Globe Names Starent Networks to Globe 100's Top Places to Work '09 List Tweet Nov 12, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Starent Networks, a provider of infrastructure solutions that enable mobile operators to deliver broadband multimedia services, announced it has been named one of the Top Places to Work in Massachusetts in the second annual employee-based survey project from The Boston Globe. The Globe 100's Top Places to Work '09 magazine was published in the Sunday Globe on November 8. Produced by the same team that compiles the 22-year-old Globe 100 report of the best-performing public companies in Massachusetts, in which Starent Networks ranked fourth on the overall list in 2009, the Top Places to Work recognizes the most progressive companies in the state based on employee opinions about company leadership, compensation and training, diversity/inclusion, career development, family-friendly flexibility, and values and ethics. Private companies and nonprofits as well as publicly-held businesses were included in the analysis. The rankings in the Globe 100's Top Places to Work are based on survey information collected by Workplace Dynamics, an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention, from 86,000 employees at 269 Massachusetts organizations. This marks the second year that a Globe 100 report has honored private as well as publicly-held organizations. Starent Networks was ranked 25 on the overall list. Starent also was listed as number nine on the mid-sized companies list. To qualify for the Globe 100's Top Places to Work, a company must have more than 100 employees in Massachusetts. Nearly 1,000 qualified companies accepted an invitation to participate. Rankings were composite scores calculated purely on the basis of employee responses.
