Kong is Great Place To Work Certified™ in the US for the Fourth Time

Kong has received Great Place To Work Certification in the United States for the fourth time, with 95% of its employees reporting a positive workplace experience compared with 57% at a typical U.S. company. Based on employee responses to the Trust Index survey, high ratings included the ability to take necessary time off, feeling welcomed upon joining, confidence in management’s ethics, authenticity at work, and a sense of individual impact. The company, which has 332 U.S.-based employees within a global San Francisco-headquartered organization, was also ranked No. 30 among small and medium employers on Fortune’s 2026 Best Workplaces in the Bay Area list. Kong attributes its culture to intentional communication, leadership openness, early opportunities for new hires to contribute, recognition programs, and employee feedback that informs processes as the company grows. It positions its work on API and AI traffic governance, security, and connectivity as an opportunity for employees to address emerging technical challenges while balancing rapid growth, operational discipline, and an inclusive workplace culture.
