Acquia

Founded in 2007 to commercialize Drupal, Acquia has grown into a full digital experience platform covering cloud hosting, digital asset management (via its 2021 Widen acquisition), personalization, and a next-generation AI-powered SaaS CMS called Acquia Source. The company was acquired by Vista Equity Partners for $1 billion in 2019, and has since expanded across the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Dries Buytaert, who created Drupal and still leads it as project lead, remains Acquia's CTO.

Acquia operates on an OKR model with a "take it when you need it" PTO policy and summer hours. Engineering teams deploy to production multiple times per day and the company actively seeks "AI-native" candidates who integrate AI into their daily workflows. Five named values guide the culture: Committed to Awesome, Do the Right Thing, Jump In and Own It, Give Back More, and Dare To Be Different. The "Give Back More" pillar reflects Acquia's open source roots, with volunteer programs and community contributions built into how the company operates.
