North Texas has its share of dynamic technology companies and a new list by DevMountain reveals the top 10 “coolest” employers in the region.

“At DevMountain, we know people don’t have to be in Silicon Valley or New York to build great tech careers.”

DevMountain is a coding school for entrepreneurs, designers, and programmers with locations in Dallas, Utah, and Arizona.

The coding school interviewed current and past bootcamp students and looked at reviews on Glassdoor.com to compile its list. 

“At DevMountain, we know people don’t have to be in Silicon Valley or New York to build great tech careers,” said Tyler Richards, founder and vice president of DevMountain, in a statement. “That’s why we’re so pleased to showcase tech companies doing amazing things across the U.S.”
