Precise Named to Inc.’s 2026 Best Workplaces List
Annual list recognizes the businesses that set the standard for workplace success and awards excellence in company culture
LEXINGTON PARK, MD – June 2, 2026 – Precise Systems is proud to announce it has been named to Inc.’s 2026 Best Workplaces list. The list, which can be found at Inc.com, honors American companies that have built exceptional workplaces and vibrant cultures that support their teams and businesses, whether in-person, remote, or hybrid.
The award is the result of a comprehensive measurement and evaluation of hundreds of applicants. The process involved a detailed employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace, covering critical elements such as management effectiveness, perks, professional development, and overall company culture. Each company’s benefits were also audited to determine the overall score. Precise is honored to be included among the 507 companies recognized this year.
“Being recognized as one of Inc.’s Best Workplaces is a tremendous honor and a reflection of the people who make Precise an exceptional place to grow, contribute, and make an impact,” says Christina Payne, Precise Systems Chief People Officer. “Our success has always been rooted in our commitment to Put People First—creating an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to do their best work. This recognition belongs to every member of our team who contributes to the culture, mission, and sense of purpose that define Precise.”
Founded in 1990, Precise Systems has grown from a small defense contractor into a leading provider of mission-critical solutions supporting the Department of Defense and other government customers nationwide. Through strategic growth and expansion, the company has significantly increased its workforce, geographic footprint, technical capabilities, and support of the nation’s most critical defense missions.
Throughout that evolution, Precise has remained committed to fostering a people-centric culture built on trust, development, recognition, and employee well-being. By investing in the success of its employees, the company continues to strengthen its workforce while delivering exceptional outcomes for the customers and warfighters it serves.
Today, more than three decades after its founding, Precise continues to prove that promising business growth and an exceptional workplace culture are not competing priorities—they are inseparable.
“This year’s Best Workplaces list goes beyond great company culture–it highlights companies making meaningful and sustained investment in their employees,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “Even in a labor market that favors employers, these companies understand that an intentional and authentic commitment to their teams drives stronger employee retention, engagement, and ultimately, a stronger business overall.”

Inc. Magazine Reveals Annual List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies—the Inc. 5000
NEW YORK, NY, August 17, 2021 — Inc. magazine today revealed that Precise Systems is No. 3978 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
“Our recognition amongst the nation’s fasting growing companies can be attributed to the incredible team we have, and our obsessive focus on our principal core values; “delight the customer” and “put people first”. We are honored and humbled to be part of such a prestigious group of companies for the 6th year in a row,” says Scott Pfister, Precise Systems President & Chief Operating Officer
Not only have the companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but this year’s list also proved especially resilient and flexible given 2020’s unprecedented challenges. Among the 5,000, the average median three-year growth rate soared to 543 percent, and median revenue reached $11.1 million. Together, those companies added more than 610,000 jobs over the past three years.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc., which will be available on newsstands on August 20.
“The 2021 Inc. 5000 list feels like one of the most important rosters of companies ever compiled,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Building one of the fastest-growing companies in America in any year is a remarkable achievement. Building one in the crisis we’ve lived through is just plain amazing. This kind of accomplishment comes with hard work, smart pivots, great leadership, and the help of a whole lot of people.”

Methodology
Companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2017 to 2020. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2017. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2020.

As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to three decimal places. There was one tie on this year’s Inc. 5000. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue.
