These Are the 100 Best Companies to Work For
When you’re looking to start a career or make the transition to a new company, there are a lot of factors to consider. Once you’ve decided on the best location, things like salary and benefits, job satisfaction, and how well employees get along with one another come into play. For its annual list of The 100 Best Companies to Work For, Fortune partnered with Great Place to Work to conduct what it calls “the most extensive employee survey in corporate America."
And the winner is? Google—for the seventh year in a row.
In explaining its methodology, Fortune said that two-thirds of the overall company scores were taken from the Trust Index Employee Survey, which surveys a sample from each company to determine how employees feel about their peers and management. The final third came from Great Place to Work’s Culture Audit, which focuses on things like compensation, hiring practices, and diversity efforts.
The financial sector is well represented in the top 100, as are loan and insurance companies—with the exception of Google, large tech companies are notably absent. Other familiar names on the list include Wegmans Food Markets (No. 4), The Container Store (No. 14), Build-A-Bear Workshop (No. 45), and The Cheesecake Factory (No. 98).
