Many show that they have a commitment to training, to diversity and to improved communication and teamwork.”


The Best Places to Work in IT list is an annual ranking of the top 100 work environments for technology professionals by IDG's Computerworld. The list is compiled based on a comprehensive questionnaire regarding company offerings in categories such as benefits, career development, training, and retention.

In addition to the technological advancements of the Credit Union, two-way communication is fundamental to BCU’s success. Managers support innovative thinking and encourage process improvement. Regular feedback, both quantitative and qualitative, is deeply encouraged throughout the organization.


“One of the most exciting aspects about BCU is our collective COURAGE to try something new,” said Scott Zulpo, BCU chief technology officer. “While the award is specific to IT departments, this is truly an organizational honor, and exemplifies how we challenge the status quo and explore new horizons.”
