CSX Named Best Place to Work in IT for Third Consecutive Year

Jacksonville, Florida -- June 24, 2015 - As a result of CSX's ongoing commitment to excellence and quality in the Information Technology (IT) workplace, the company was named a "Best Place to Work in IT" by IDG's Computerworld for the third consecutive year. The company ranked 31 among large organizations receiving high marks for employee training and engagement.

"At CSX, we know that our people are the key to our continued success, and we work hard to create an environment where they can thrive," said Kathleen Brandt, president of CSX Technology. "Our dedicated team of IT professionals supports the company's business goals by creating innovative technology solutions that promote safety, foster excellent customer service and continue to drive efficiency for employees and our operations."

The Best Places to Work in IT list is an annual ranking of the top 100 work environments for technology professionals. The list is compiled based on a comprehensive questionnaire regarding company offerings in categories such as benefits, career development, training and retention. In addition, Computerworld conducts extensive surveys of IT workers, and their responses factor heavily into the rankings.

"The 100 organizations on Computerworld's 2015 Best Places to Work in IT list realize that attracting and retaining a highly-skilled technology workforce leads to competitive advantage," said Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld. "In a tight market for tech talent, these outstanding employers attract the best and brightest IT pros with generous salaries and top-drawer benefits, then deepen their teams' engagement with challenging, business-critical projects built around cutting-edge technologies. As a result, these winning organizations are best positioned to take advantage of the digital transformation sweeping through every industry."
