There were 31 technology companies named for 2020, an increase of 29 in 2019, according to Glassdoor Senior Economic Research Analyst Amanda Stansell. Companies that disappeared from the list last year were: Google (# 11; dropped three spots), Facebook (# 23; dropped 16 spots) and Apple (# 84; dropped 13 spots).

Nine technical newcomers were on the 2020 list, including SurveyMonkey at # 33, Dell Technologies at # 67; and slackening on # 69.

Award qualifications

Glassdoor’s awards are based on employee reviews and there is’ no reward to play, no entry barriers; it is based solely on last year’s reviews, “said Stansell.

To be eligible, each company must have an overall assessment of at least 3.5 and at least 30 approved assessments. Other considerations were workplace factors such as career opportunities, pay and benefits, culture and values, senior management and work-life balance, during an eligible period from October 23, 2018 to October 21, 2019.

All major US companies also had to have 75 approved assessments to be eligible for inclusion, Stansell added.

When Glassdoor reviewed the data for the best companies from 2020 that they found, “there are three main themes that stand out for HubSpot: their employees love the people they work with and how smart, innovative and supportive their teammates are,” she said . “They also talked about the really great benefits that HubSpot offers”, such as unlimited paid leave and parental leave. They really invest in learning and development . and have real supportive leadership and a good working environment. “

“HubSpot works hard to create a truly diverse and inclusive work environment in which everyone feels comfortable putting their true self to work,” read a review of a HubSpot Renewals Account. Manager in Cambridge, Mass.

Some employee reviews mentioned the HubSpot culture code, and Stansell said this “states that they often keep track of their culture. So they clearly care about the work experience of employees and . employees clearly love to work there.”

It’s “still pretty unbelievable that Bain has been on the list for 12 years,” Glassdoor has won the awards, she added, of the number 2 winner. “One of the areas that need improvement that we see bubbling up (at Bain) is long hours and challenging workloads.”

SurveyMonkey was the top technological newcomer, Stansell said. “It is a really fast-growing company and employees emphasize the truly transparent leadership and balance between work and private life and that they care about employee health and the ability to do really challenging and interesting work.”

Technical industry dominates list

Technology is the top industry and represents just over 30% of the companies on the list. Stansell cited the “fierce competition among tech employers to retain employees, so they invest in talent,” as a reason.

Given that technology only covers 30% of the companies on the list, “we see companies in different industries – from government to education to healthcare to advice – which is great news for job seekers in different industries and across the country,” said she. .

Glassdoor also looked for job openings at the best companies to work with, and although many of the technology companies may be in Silicon Valley, “we see open positions in places like Pittsburgh to Austin, Texas,” said.

Newcomers AppFolio and Yardi Systems are hiring new employees in Santa Barbara, CA, and newcomer Epic is hiring new employees in Madison, WI, according to Glassdoor.

In addition to Bain, Google and Apple have been placed on Glassdoor’s list every 12 years of the awards.

In addition to the 31 technology companies, the other top industries on the list were healthcare (nine companies); retail (eight companies); and production (eight companies).

The four main subways for the corporate headquarters are the San Francisco Bay region (20 companies); New York City (nine companies); Boston (eight companies) and Los Angeles (five companies).
