LANDOVER, Md., April 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 2U, Inc. (NASDAQ: TWOU), a leading provider of cloud-based software-as-a-service solutions that enable leading nonprofit colleges and universities to deliver high-quality degree programs online, today announced that 2U CEO and co-founder Chip Paucek has been honored as one of the five Highest Ranked CEOs in the U.S. among small- to medium-sized companies in 2014 by Glassdoor, an online career and workplace community. The ranking relies on the input of employees, who provided feedback on Paucek's leadership via Glassdoor's anonymous online review survey.

"This recognition validates my belief that each and every employee is a meaningful contributor in achieving our company's higher mission to forever change the world of education, " said Paucek. "I am honored to work alongside our incredibly talented team of employees who have an unyielding passion to create the world's best online education programs and enable our university partners to reach their full potential."

In support of this recognition, 2U's employees created a one-minute video, explaining why they wanted to work at 2U and what it meant to work for a CEO like Paucek. The video can be found here (http://2u.com/about/careers/).

Last December, 2U was ranked among the Top 20 Best Medium-Sized Companies to Work for in 2014. The Glassdoor company review survey includes both quantitative and qualitative questions, designed to capture a genuine and authentic inside look at what it's like to work at particular jobs and companies. The survey asks employees to rate their satisfaction with the company overall, as well as key workplace factors like career opportunities, compensation and benefits, work/life balance, senior management, and culture and values. In addition, employees are asked to describe the best reasons to work at their company as well as any downsides.

2U is currently hiring in Landover, MD (near the Washington, DC area); New York City, NY; Los Angeles, CA and other locations.
