Largest peer-to-peer network of women in tech named to annual list

DURHAM, NC (December 16, 2025) – Best Companies Group (BCG), a trusted leader in workplace culture research and recognition, announced that Rewriting the Code has officially been named a 2026 Best Nonprofit Workplaces. This recognition shines a spotlight on Rewriting the Code’s dedication to putting its people first, creating an environment where team members feel supported, inspired, and empowered to deliver world-class care.

“Rewriting the Code is the best place to work because we live the values we espouse. One of our values is ‘belonging is our bedrock,’” said Rewriting the Code Vice President of Culture & Community Impact, Kristin Austin. “Because we do it so well, it translates seamlessly to the member community we cultivate.”

Best Companies Group has been recognizing the top workplace for over 20 years, helping more than 10,000 companies worldwide celebrate what makes them special. The Best Places to Work and Best Company to Work For certifications are based on direct employee feedback and rigorous data analysis, making them trusted marks of workplace excellence.

“We model the future of work we believe in: values-driven, inclusion-focused, and community-centered. Everyone here has both a voice and a vision. No voice or role is considered small at Rewriting the Code. Every team member, from interns to leadership, helps shape our culture and our impact. We are truly rewriting what it means to belong in tech and to thrive at work,” said Austin.

Rewriting the Code began in 2017 with a simple belief: women in tech shouldn’t have to navigate the industry alone. Today, it has grown into a global peer community of more than 40,000 students and early-career technologists across 175+ countries. Rewriting the Code helps women launch and grow sustainable careers in tech through mentorship, skill-building, and access to opportunities.

In addition to its now award-winning workplace culture, Rewriting the Code offers its employees a 100% remote role, Summer Fridays, extended holiday breaks, birthdays off, professional development stipend, at-home office set-up stipend and more.
