DENVER, June 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SendGrid, a leading delivery platform for customer communication that drives engagement and growth, was ranked number 80 on the list of the country's Best Workplaces for Millennials, announced by research and consulting firm Great Place to Work and FORTUNE. The  ranking considered 398,000 surveys that assessed organizations' fairness, teamwork, benefits and other elements essential to an outstanding work culture.

Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, SendGrid has over 400 employees with additional offices in Redwood City and Orange, California, and recently announced the expansion of its presence in London, England.  The Company is hiring and has multiple open positions listed on its Careers page.

"Culture is key to scaling a company as quickly as we are. Millennial employees have helped enhance SendGrid's 4H culture of being happy, humble, hungry and honest.  They are interested in making a difference and come into our organization with a strong drive to succeed and are genuinely happy to be here," said Pattie Money, Chief People Operations Officer at SendGrid. "I love seeing their desire to raise the bar and go above and beyond their role. Together, we have created an environment where millennials can thrive, that embodies passion and growth. Our team-first mentality has proven to be especially attractive to this demographic and has helped our business remain strong while attracting great talent of every age."
