CENTREVILLE, Va., Feb. 23,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Carfax is a 'Great Place to Work' in the
D.C. area for the eighth time in a row, according to
Washingtonian. It's the first time a company has earned that
level of recognition on the publication's biennial list of top
workplaces. With a people-first culture and state-of-the-art work
environment, Carfax has built a reputation as the choice for
innovative thinkers and career-seekers. Carfax employees often cite
the mission-driven focus of the company, teamwork and emphasis on
individual strengths as the principles most valuable to their
success.
"We're thrilled that our team once again earned a spot on
Washingtonian's list for what fuels our great culture," said
Adrienne Webster, VP of human
resources. "Sure, we've got an office full of cool gadgets, games
and creature comforts for us and the newest members of team Carfax,
our dogs. We believe a great culture grows from healthy
competition, knowing your work makes a difference to millions, and
being rewarded for your efforts."
Carfax recently expanded in the D.C. area, adding 25,000 sq. ft.
to its Cushman & Wakefield-managed Fairfax County offices. The company also is
hiring dozens of programmers and data engineers to help innovative
solutions like Carfax Used Car Listings and Carfax History-Based
Value be the standard for used car buyers and sellers.
Carfax employees work in an open, collaborative environment that
fosters teamwork yet gives people plenty of personal space. Team
Carfax also works together to give back to the local community,
most notably the annual Bike to the Beach ride, for which they
raised over $48,000 towards autism
research in 2016.
"One of the keys to our success is playing to the strengths of
each Team Carfax member," said Webster. "Being at the forefront of
innovation in the consumer information world gives our team the
chance to grow and take on new challenges. We invest in
cutting-edge tools and technologies that contribute to the growth
of our employees and our products. People love working here because
the resources they need to thrive are readily available to
them."
Carfax also earns distinction as a Best Place to Work in
Virginia for 2017 from Virginia
Business. The company made the inaugural list in 2011 and has
been recognized every year since. In addition to
Washingtonian and Virginia Business, Carfax ranks on
top places to work lists from The Washington Post and
Glassdoor.com. Carfax president Dick
Raines, who recently celebrated 25 years with the company,
