Web-development company ranked #6 by own employees in 2010 Minneapolis Star Tribune Survey
Nerdery Interactive Labs/Sierra Bravo has been named one of the Top Workplaces in the Twin Cities metro area based on an employee-based survey project from the Star Tribune. The Nerdery is #6 on the small company list.
Star Tribune's Top Workplaces list recognizes the most progressive companies in the metro based on employee opinions about company leadership, career opportunities, workplace flexibility, compensation and benefits.

Star Tribune Publisher Michael J. Klingensmith said, "I congratulate each of the companies in the Star Tribune Top Workplaces on their outstanding accomplishment. They have succeeded in creating a positive workplace for their employees during very challenging economic times."
