Glassdoor reveals rankings for best places to work in 2018

WASHINGTON — Glassdoor has unveiled the winners of its Employees’ Choice Awards, ranking the best places to work in North America and parts of Europe.

The workplace review and ratings site lists 100 best places to work in the U.S. with 1,000 or more employees, and 50 small and medium companies to work for with less than 1,000 employees.

Glassdoor’s annual awards are based on anonymous, voluntary employee input about their workplace over the past year. Ratings are based on a five-point scale, 1.0 being very dissatisfied and 5.0 being very satisfied.

There are more than 700,000 employers reviewed on its site, according to Glassdoor.

“To help people find companies that stand out from the pack, the Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Awards recognize employers that are truly best places to work because they’re determined by those who really know best — the employees,” said Glassdoor CEO and co-founder Robert Hohman in a press release.
