Ofinno earns Great Place To Work® Certification™

News

92% of employees say Ofinno is a great place to work – 35 points above the average U.S. company – in a recognition determined entirely by employee feedback.

RESTON, VA — August 25, 2026 — Ofinno, a research and development lab specializing in wireless communication and media compression standards, today announced that it has been Certified™ by Great Place To Work® in the United States. The designation is based entirely on what current employees report about their experience working at the company.

In the confidential Trust Index™ survey conducted in June 2026, 92% of Ofinno employees said Ofinno is a great place to work — compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company. Across all survey statements, Ofinno averaged 89% positive.

Great Place To Work is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue and increased innovation. Its Trust Index survey measures credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie. Unlike recognition decided by an outside panel, Certification is determined solely by employee responses.

The strongest results clustered around how Ofinno’s people work with one another. Ninety-eight percent of employees said you can count on people to cooperate, and community ranked as the company’s highest-scoring dimension at 98%.

Those results speak directly to how Ofinno operates. The company’s model brings researchers and patent attorneys together from the earliest stages of an invention, with technical teams working across its 6G Innovation LabNext-Gen Wi-Fi Lab, and Advanced Media Lab. Its researchers serve as active delegates at 3GPP, IEEE, and MPEG.

“Every other recognition we’ve received measures our output: patent quality, portfolio strength, standards contributions. This one measures how the work feels to the people doing it, and it’s the only one they decided themselves. The number that means the most to me is that 98% of our team said you can count on people here to cooperate. Ofinno is a small company competing with the largest technology companies in the world, and that is only possible because our researchers and attorneys genuinely rely on each other. Seeing that reflected back in our team’s own words is the result I’d have asked for.”
Kavon Nasabzadeh CEO, Ofinno

The Certification follows Ofinno’s fifth consecutive appearance on the LexisNexis® Top 100 Global Innovators list in March 2026, a ranking based on patent portfolio quality.
