Top 40 Employers list. Last year the company was selected for the
province's "Top 30 Employers" list.
Sophos was recognized for an excellent benefits package that, among

employees is a main focus for the organization; the company offers
comprehensive orientation programs, in-depth product training and
external training opportunities.
"Being named one of BC's Top Employers by Maclean's for the
third year in a row is an affirmation of the hard work and
commitment of each Sophos employee," said Mark Hatton,
president at Sophos North America. "Having highly motivated and
productive employees is essential to the longevity and overall
success of any company and we certainly strive to make Sophos not
only a fun and inviting place to work but also a place to learn and
grow."

accounts for more than 17% of Sophos's worldwide employee base.
