Annual list recognizes the businesses that set the standard for workplace success and awards excellence in company culture
Frederick, MD – Orases, a leading custom software development firm based in Frederick, 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 a 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. Orases is honored to be included among the 514 companies recognized this year.
“This recognition is special because it comes directly from our team,” said Nick Damoulakis, CEO of Orases. “We operate on a simple principle: if you create an environment where talented people feel valued, supported, and empowered, they will achieve incredible things. This award is proof that our focus on fostering a genuine culture of trust and innovation is our greatest asset, and I’m immensely proud of the workplace we’ve all built together.”
Orases’ achievement of this designation underlines their commitment to creating a workplace where team members feel valued, supported, and part of a community dedicated to excellence. This certification is not only a reflection of the company’s current success in fostering a positive work culture but also sets a benchmark for continual improvement and innovation in their team engagement and management practices.
“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.”
