Revealed: Top 50 workplaces in the US

Online job reviews and a tight talent market are pushing companies to enhance their employee experience, according to career site Indeed.

“Now more than ever, candidates expect transparency and information when applying for a job, with 95% of workers saying insight into a company’s employer reputation would be important,” Indeed said.

Indeed’s data team analysed 150 million employee reviews to come up with a list of the top 50 highest-rated workplaces.

For 2019, multimedia software group Adobe clinched the top spot thanks to its “insightful, forward-looking” leadership.

“They continue to reinvent themselves to stay relevant and ahead of the curve,” one employee said of the company, which has been in business for more than three decades. “They are an amazing company with great people, great work-life balance, and a fantastic culture.

Trailing behind at number 2 is social media behemoth Facebook, which was praised for its “great atmosphere and credible training experience” as well as its friendly culture.

“Company sponsored events are always over the top and a great way to get to spend time with your team outside of the office,” a Facebook employee said.

“One recurring theme this year among employee reviews seems to be the importance of an enjoyable work environment – whether that environment is fun, supportive, true to its company values or all of the above,” Indeed said.

“In fact, a positive work environment leads to more engaged workers, and more engaged workers create a 20% increase in productivity and are 90% more likely to stay with their current companies.”
