About the Recognition

Crain’s Chicago Business Best Places to Work program celebrates organizations across the Chicago area that stand out for their employee experience. Honorees are evaluated by the Workforce Research Group, which identifies employers that excel at creating supportive, people-first environments through benefits, perks, flexible policies, employee well-being initiatives, and an inclusive culture.

A Culture Centered on People

“This honor is really about our people,” said Ruchie Chadha, President at Smokeball US. “At Smokeball we’ve worked hard to build a culture rooted in care, collaboration, and growth. Our mission has always been about more than just innovation, though. It’s about community. We’ve always believed that if we care for each other and our clients, the rest will follow. It’s meaningful to see the culture we’ve created shine through in this way.”

Our local Chicago team, along with our employees across the US and the globe  are our greatest assets. We're more than just a software company; we're a community dedicated to innovation, support, and continuous learning. And while talent and skills are in abundance amongst our team members, the true value lands in the way people genuinely love working together and supporting one another.
