Balata Data Named to Inc.’s 2025 Best Workplaces List

Atlanta, Georgia June 17th, 2025 — Balata Data is proud to announce it has been named to Inc.’s 2025 Best Workplaces list, honoring companies that have built exceptional workplaces and vibrant cultures that support their teams and businesses.

‍

This year’s list, featured on Inc.com, is the result of comprehensive measurement and evaluation of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company cultures–whether in-person or remote.

The award process involved a detailed employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace, covering critical elements such as management effectiveness, perks, professional development, and overall company culture. Each company’s benefits were also audited to determine overall score and ranking. Balata Data is honored to be included among the 514 companies recognized this year.

Our Corporate Culture

“When we started Balata 2.5 years ago, our goal was simple: build a place where A-players could thrive and genuinely enjoy the work. Fun and high performance aren’t opposites, they fuel each other. We’re just getting started, but it’s incredibly meaningful to be recognized for the culture we’ve been intentional about from day one.”

- JJ Jeanguenat, Co-Founder, Managing Partner

"We’re thrilled to share that Balata has been named one of Inc.’s Best Places to Work. This is a testament to our belief that when you bring together the industry’s top talent, empower them with freedom, create a place for radical candor, and fuel them with purpose, extraordinary things happen. At Balata, we don’t just build elite teams, we build a culture where freedom drives innovation. Exceptional customer experience is the gold standard."

- Zach Broome, Co-Founder, SVP Channel Sales

“At Balata, one of the ways we measure our culture isn’t with surveys or slogans, it’s with the Sunday Night Rule. On Sunday night, do our employees feel good about where they work? Are they looking forward to Monday morning, or are they dreading the week ahead? If the answer is excitement and pride then we know we’re building something special. A company where people are valued, challenged, and inspired. A company we can all be proud of. Because great culture isn’t about ping pong tables or free snacks. It’s about creating an environment where people genuinely want to show up and do great work.”

- Daniel Kedme, Co-Founder, Managing Partner

Balata is a global provider of premium data center solutions and services. We offer comprehensive lifecycle services that help organizations stay agile, efficient, and focused on innovation.

“Inc.’s Best Workplaces program celebrates the exceptional organizations whose workplace cultures address their employees’ welfare and needs in meaningful ways,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “As companies expand and adapt to changing economic forces, maintaining such a culture is no small feat. Yet these honorees have not only achieved it—they continue to elevate the employee experience through thoughtful benefits, engagement, and a deep commitment to their teams.”
