For the second consecutive year, Maximus honored for its exceptional workplace culture

Maximus, a leading employer and provider of government services, announced it has been named one of The Washington Post’s 2025 Top Workplaces in the Washington, D.C. area. This marks the second consecutive year Maximus earned a spot on the list, which is based solely on employee feedback gathered through an anonymous, third-party survey by research partner Energage, LLC. The survey measured several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution, and connection. This year’s list honors technology companies, real estate firms, and financial service providers.

“Across Maximus, we’re more than colleagues. We are a community united in a mission bigger than ourselves to help the millions of people we interact with every year,” said Bruce Caswell, CEO, Maximus. “Our success is directly attributed to the connectors, innovators, and problem solvers at Maximus who go above and beyond to help government agencies deliver the right services to the right people at the right time. As Maximus celebrates our 50^th anniversary this year, we take pride in our culture of excellence, and receiving this prestigious honor from The Washington Post for the second year reflects our strong culture and it affirms that our people know they are seen, heard, and valued.”

In the past year, Maximus has been lauded with a series of company- and employee-focused awards. Thus far in 2025, Maximus has been named to Fortune’s Most Innovative Company List, recognized by Time Magazine for its World’s Best Company List, and earned a spot on Newsweek’s list of America's Greatest Workplaces. Other honors include being ranked as a Five-Star Employer for Veterans and named a Top Veteran Employer by Military.com.

Maximus’ most recent internal, independent Global Employee Engagement Survey reinforces these recognitions. The survey found the company “created a positive and consistently improved employee experience by fostering a culture of listening, feedback, transparency, and accountability.” Additionally, nearly 90 percent of Maximus employees reported favorable views on communications, access to resources, and a work environment that fosters trust and openness.

“For 12 years, The Washington Post’s Top Workplaces list has served as an essential resource for D.C.-area professionals, equipping them with unparalleled insight into the best local companies to work for, as heard directly from their employees," said Bronwen Latimer, the editor for Special Initiatives at the Washington Post. “This year we have highlighted 250 companies who are making a difference in business and in our communities.”

The Washington Post hosted an awards ceremony on Wednesday, June 18 to recognize the top-ranked companies. For more about The Washington Post’s Top Workplaces and to see the full list of this year’s honorees, click here.
