Cardamom®, a minority-owned, technology-forward health IT professional services company specializing in data, analytics, AI, and applications for healthcare organizations nationwide, has been recognized as the No. 1 Best Place to Work in the small business category in the Madison area by Madison Magazine. This is Cardamom’s first year of eligibility and its second overall workplace award. In 2025, it was named the No. 6 Best Place to Work in Healthcare by Modern Healthcare.
Over the past 18 months, Cardamom has experienced rapid growth, expanding its Madison-based team and relocating to larger office space to support its continued momentum. Throughout this period of expansion, it remains deeply committed to its core values and the community-based portion of its dual mission to build an inclusive economy by creating opportunities for people who are often overlooked.
“It’s wonderful to see that the amazing team and culture we’re cultivating at Cardamom is being recognized,” said CEO Vivek Swaminathan. “As a proud Badger and Madison native, it’s important to me that we contribute meaningfully to this community, and with a workforce dedicated to the critical field of health IT, I know we’re making a positive impact within our city and across the country.”
Cardamom’s team-based approach to customer work fosters collaboration, fueling innovation and trust that benefits both its team members and its healthcare customers. With flexibility to work remotely or in-person, the company prioritizes connection through regular in-person and virtual gatherings, including team lunches, community giveback events, and other local activities and outings.
Madison Magazine selected its Best Place to Work in Madison honorees based on a comprehensive evaluation process that included an employer questionnaire and an anonymous employee survey measuring six key engagement categories: communication and resources, individual needs, manager effectiveness, personal engagement, team dynamics, and trust in leadership.
