LOS ANGELES, April 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MediaAlpha, Inc. (NYSE: MAX) today announced it has been recognized as a Great Place To Workยฎ Certifiedโข company for 10 consecutive years. The certification is based entirely on what current team members report about their experience. This year, 95% of team members said it's a great place to work, 38 points higher than the average U.S. company.
To mark this milestone, MediaAlpha was honored at the Great Place To Workยฎ For All Summitโข in Las Vegas on April 22, recognized for achieving a full decade of consecutive Certification.
Great Place to Workยฎ is the global authority on workplace culture. The Decade of Great distinction is reserved for organizations that have earned certification year after year, demonstrating that a strong culture is not a moment, but a sustained practice.
Recognition from Great Place To Workยฎ
โGreat Place To Work Certification benchmarks the exceptional workplace that MediaAlpha has built, highlighting their trust-based leadership and commitment to team member growth and well-being. This prestigious designation is sought by companies that accelerate their business performance by going beyond measuring just employee engagement. Certified companies trust Great Place To Workโs products and services, knowing that fostering great leaders and measuring trust benefits both people and business. Pursuing this Certification helps organizations capture key employee feedback and benchmark their workplace against the best, driving improvements in productivity, innovation, and sustained market-beating performance.โ โ Paul Wolcott, President, Great Place To Workยฎ
What Makes MediaAlphaโs Culture Exceptional
A decade of Great Place To Work Certification is a rare achievement, one that reflects not just a strong culture, but a resilient one. MediaAlpha has maintained that standard through 10 years of growth, change, and evolution in the insurance industry.
At MediaAlpha, culture is not a program that gets launched; itโs something built deliberately over time. Core values of accountability, curiosity, transparency, and long-term focus are not just principles on a wall, they are the operating principles behind every decision, every feedback cycle, and every investment the company makes in its people. The most recent engagement survey returned an 88% overall score and an eNPS rating of 95, both well above benchmark for companies of its size. Those numbers have remained steady through hiring surges, market shifts, and every other challenge a decade of growth brings. Consistency like that doesn't happen by accident.
"What strikes me most about ten consecutive years isnโt the number, itโs the consistency. Great years happen. Sustaining that standard through growth spurts, market shifts, and constant change is a different thing entirely. Our people are the reason weโre here, and this milestone is a testament to them." โ Tawny Graham, Vice President of People Operations, MediaAlpha
MediaAlpha backs that culture with real investment. The company's training budget funds certifications, technical skills, and leadership development, and a promote-from-within philosophy means team members are building careers at MediaAlpha, not just filling roles. The way people work reflects that same commitment: a hybrid model, company-wide Recharge Days, and programming designed to keep every team member connected regardless of location. The result is a workforce that brings the same trust and care to client relationships that MediaAlpha extends to its own people. In an industry built on performance, that gives MediaAlpha a significant competitive advantage.
