SAN JUAN, PR – Tuesday, December 9, 2025 – Foundry's Computerworld announces Abarca as a 2026 Best Places to Work in IT. This award recognizes the top organizations that challenge their IT staff while providing great benefits, engagement, and training opportunities. Organizations will be included in Computerworld.com coverage, along with results from the 2026 Best Places to Work in IT survey.
Abarca, a pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) and healthcare technology company on a mission to make healthcare seamless and personalized, ranked No. 14 among small global organizations on the 2026 Best Places to Work in IT list. Abarca is once again the only company based in Puerto Rico to be recognized on this prestigious list, which highlights top workplaces for technology professionals worldwide.
“It’s clear that AI is having a disruptive impact on IT operations and IT talent,” says Barbara Call, global director of content strategy at Foundry. “This year’s honorees demonstrate how organizations are proactively evolving their talent strategies to fill much-needed skills gaps and reskill existing staff to be more resilient and responsive to changing needs.”
This recognition reflects the strength of Abarca’s employer value proposition, built on three core pillars: Abarcan Care, Abarcan Growth, and Abarcan Experience. Together, these pillars define how the company supports, develops, and engages its people across its growing global footprint.
“At Abarca, technology isn’t just a support function—it’s at the center of how we reimagine healthcare every day,” said Mercibel Gonzalez, EVP and Chief People Officer at Abarca. “Being named one of the Best Places to Work in IT reaffirms that our culture, our values, and our commitment to our people—through our Abarcan care, growth, and experience programs—are just as innovative as the technology we build.”

Why Abarca Stands Out Among IT Workplaces
From its headquarters in San Juan, Abarca brings together engineers, product leaders, data scientists, cybersecurity experts, and clinicians to build technology that powers pharmacy benefits and broader healthcare solutions for clients across the United States. The company’s IT workplace is shaped by its three pillars: 1. Abarcan Care. Through competitive benefits, flexible work arrangements, wellness initiatives, and a supportive environment that treats colleagues “like family,” Abarca ensures its people are cared for so they can do their best work for members and clients. 2. Abarcan Growth. Tech professionals at Abarca have opportunities to expand their skills in AI, cloud-native platforms, data engineering, and modern software architectures, while accessing mentorship and leadership development programs that support long-term career growth. 3. Abarcan Experience. Through programs like Oasis Connections, which brings in visionary leaders for candid conversations on innovation and leadership, and Oasis Mixers, informal gatherings that help Abarcans build relationships with fellow tech colleagues and industry peers, the company pairs advanced technology with meaningful human connections. Since its founding in 2005, Abarca has focused on pairing advanced technology with meaningful human connections. Its PBM platform, Darwin, serves as the backbone for clinical programs, innovative partnerships, and solutions designed to address complex client needs. With a team of more than 900 employees, Abarca continues to attract IT talent that wants to solve real-world healthcare challenges in new ways. “Recognition from Computerworld is particularly meaningful because it reflects how our own people experience life at Abarca,” Gonzalez added. “We’re proud to offer an environment where our people can feel cared for, grow their careers, and live a unique Abarcan experience—while seeing the impact of their work on millions of lives.”
