Cincinnati, Ohio-based Kroger Co. recently announced Kroger Technology & Digital has been named Computerworld magazine’s Top 100 Best Places to Work in IT for 2020. This marks the third consecutive year that Kroger’s technology and digital team has been recognized by the annual list for having an innovative, industry-leading workplace culture.
This year, Kroger ranks 51st among large companies.
“Our technology and digital team continues to create innovative experiences that are fundamentally changing the way we serve customers across America,” said Yael Cosset, chief technology and digital officer. “Kroger’s relentless focus on delivering solutions focused on both customers and associates is what drives our ability to transform the shopping experience and is what makes Kroger a special place for our team.”
The Top 100 Best Places to Work in IT list is a yearly ranking of the top work environments for technology professionals by Computerworld. The list is developed based on categories like benefits, career development and training and retention. Computerworld also conducts surveys of IT associates, and their responses are a factor in determining the rankings.
In addition, Kroger’s technology and digital team is offering its first virtual summer internship program this year as part of its emphasis on workplace culture and developing talent. More than 30 interns will work on real projects impactful to the business as well as participate in a series of virtual networking, mentorship and community service opportunities.
“A big part of our organization’s culture is providing opportunities to grow, learn and develop the talented and passionate team behind the company’s seamless ecosystem,” Cosset said. “Our internship program offers real-life opportunities to future industry talent, which has never been more important to those entering the workforce, and I’m proud of our ability to continue to provide these experiences in the current environment.”
Kroger‘s virtual internship format will expand in the fall semester, and interested students can apply via email at [email protected].
