SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Apr 26, 2011) - Mashery, the leading provider of API (Application Programming Interface) management and strategic services, is among the best places to work in the Bay Area, according to the results in this year's "Best Places to Work" poll by the San Francisco Business Times.

The leader in API management ranked seventh among businesses with 25 to 50 employees in the 2011 poll. Mashery received this honor based upon its employees' feedback for the company in a number of areas, including work culture, corporate philosophy, career opportunities, benefits and overall compensation. Employees especially liked that Mashery encourages employees to organize team-building activities from charitable outreach to weekly poker nights and provides the resources, time and space to fully realize the projects. More than 300 companies vied for only a few top spots, but the enthusiastic response from Mashery's employees pushed it to a top spot.

"The award demonstrates that Mashery is not only a leader in API management, but also a company that has created an environment where employees are valued, rewarded and appreciated for the hard work they do every day, " said Kirsten Spoljaric, co-founder and vice president, human resources at Mashery. "This award is a tribute to our employees, who work hard every day to create a fun and dynamic workplace."

The complete results of the 2011 poll were published in the April 22, 2011 issue of the San Francisco Business Times.
