SRA Watchtower Named One of the 2025 Best Places to Work in Virginia

Virginia Business has named SRA Watchtower as one of the 2025 Best Places to Work in Virginia. The awards are held in partnership with Best Companies Group.

Best Places to Work in Virginia identifies, recognizes and honors the best places of employment in Virginia in three categories: small employer (15-99 employees), medium employer (100-249) and large employer (250 or more). To be considered, companies must be a publicly or privately held business; be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity; have a facility in the state of Virginia; have at least 15 full- or part-time employees working in Virginia; and be in business a minimum of one year.

Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.

There were two parts used to determine the rankings. The first consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices and demographics, worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience, which consisted of 75% of the total. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.

"The 2025 Best Places to Work in Virginia know what it takes to create a workplace that results in teamwork and excellence. They put their employees’ welfare first, creating a positive environment for all,” said Richard Foster, associate publisher of Virginia Business. “We at Virginia Business are pleased to join with Best Companies Group in recognizing these outstanding organizations.”

A listing of winners is below. The final rankings will be announced at the March 31 awards ceremony.
