FRIENDSWOOD, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Castle Biosciences Inc. (Nasdaq: CSTL), a company improving health through innovative tests that guide patient care, today announced that it has received a Top Workplaces USA award for the third consecutive year. The national award program by Energage and USA Today celebrates organizations that have built exceptional workplace cultures. Castle was ranked 28^th among 370 participating U.S. companies with 500-999 employees.

“I am so proud to accept this award once again on behalf of our exceptional employees, to whom I credit this honor,” said Derek Maetzold, president and chief executive officer at Castle Biosciences. “At Castle, our work to improve health through innovative tests that guide patient care is vitally important, but it’s the people — our valued Castle team members — who make Castle special. We have worked hard to create a work environment that truly supports our employees’ needs by providing an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere, competitive compensation packages, industry-leading benefits and a healthy work/life balance. The feedback we receive from our employees each year via this survey allows us to continually evaluate and improve upon our strong company culture.”
