America’s best employers are identified using an independent survey from a vast sample of more than 170,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S.
The final ranking is based on two types of evaluations:
• Personal – Given by employees, also known as direct evaluations.
• Public – Given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry, also known as indirect evaluations, with a much higher weighting for personal evaluations.
The ranking is divided into two lists of 600: one for the top large companies with more than 5,000 U.S. employees, and another for the top midsize companies with 1,000 to 5,000.
