Liberty Center One has been named to Inc. Magazine’s Best Workplaces 2026 list, a national recognition determined entirely through anonymous employee feedback.
For our team, this matters because it comes directly from the people behind the work we do every day.
Today, Liberty Center One is proud to share this recognition alongside the engineers, support staff, and team members who help keep critical infrastructure secure, available, and supported for the organizations we serve.
An award earned from the inside out
The Inc. Best Workplaces program is determined entirely through an anonymous employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace, a third-party research firm specializing in employee engagement and workplace culture. No company can buy its way onto this list, nominate itself, or submit a polished application. Winners are selected based solely on what employees say, confidentially, about their day-to-day experience working there.
That methodology is exactly why this recognition carries real weight. It comes directly from the people who know Liberty Center One best: the engineers, support staff, and team members who show up every day and do the work. When they say this is one of the best places to work in tech, that is not a marketing message. It reflects the real experience of the people who work here every day.
What Liberty Center One culture actually looks like
Liberty Center One culture is not defined by a poster on the wall or a values document in an employee handbook. It is defined by how leadership treats people, how teams support each other under pressure, and whether the company’s stated commitments show up in day-to-day decisions. By every one of those measures, our team has said clearly and on the record that Liberty Center One delivers.
Managing critical infrastructure means technical professionals and support staff are solving real problems, often under real pressure, for organizations that cannot afford disruption. That kind of environment either breaks a team or builds one. At Liberty Center One, it has built one.
“It doesn’t matter if you are a client, a partner, or an employee. We are always striving to do the right thing for you.”
— Asa Hensley, Liberty Center One
Those words reflect something Founder and CEO Rex Smith has believed since the beginning:
“Great companies are built by great people. It really is that simple. Work is a meaningful part of life, and I’ve always believed it should be productive while also being a place where people feel valued, supported, and genuinely enjoy being part of the team. When that’s true, it shows in everything, including how we take care of our customers.”
— Rex Smith, Founder & CEO, Liberty Center One
Why Liberty Center One Is One of the Best Places to Work in Tech
For technology professionals, finding a company that genuinely invests in its people and not just its technology is harder than it sounds. A lot of organizations talk about culture. Far fewer build it in ways that employees actually feel. Liberty Center One has worked deliberately to be the exception.
That means providing the tools people need to do great work and supporting flexibility when life demands it. It means encouraging experienced engineers to collaborate openly and creating a workplace where solving hard problems alongside talented colleagues is part of what makes the job rewarding.
For those exploring cloud hosting careers, Liberty Center One represents a different kind of opportunity. It is a company where the technical work is genuinely interesting and challenging, the team is high-caliber, and leadership is accessible, accountable, and invested in the success of every person on the team.
Why this matters to our clients
For the businesses we serve, whether it is colocation, managed IT services, cloud solutions, or disaster recovery, this award is more than a cultural milestone. It is a direct signal about service quality.
A team that is engaged and proud of where they work communicates more clearly, solves problems faster, and takes genuine ownership of client outcomes. That is not a soft benefit. It is the difference between infrastructure that simply runs and infrastructure that is actively managed, monitored, and protected by people who care about the result.
Jason Huebner, our Managing Director, put it directly:
“Our customers experience the results of our culture every day. Reliable execution, strong communication, and consistent service come from a team that takes ownership, cares deeply about the work, and is committed to delivering at a high level.”
— Jason Huebner, Managing Director, Liberty Center One
That commitment shows in ways clients notice. Engineers go beyond the scope of a ticket to help a customer understand an issue. Team members cover each other late at night because in this industry, systems do not keep business hours. And when something goes wrong, the culture here treats it as a problem to solve, not a task to escalate.
Several members of the Liberty Center One team have also shared their perspective on what makes the company a rewarding place to work. Their stories are available on Liberty Center One’s LinkedIn and Facebook pages.
Looking ahead
“I’m proud of this recognition, but more than that, I’m proud of the people who earned it. We didn’t set out to win an award. We set out to build a company where talented people feel supported, where doing the right thing is never negotiable, and where the care we have for our own team is reflected in the care we bring to every client we serve. This recognition tells us we’re on the right track.”
— Rex Smith, Founder & CEO, Liberty Center One
