Facebook is the place to be, according to job website Glassdoor’s new list ranking the 100 best companies to work for in 2018.
Technology is a recurring theme on the list. Other companies span healthcare, consulting, and retail. Bain & Company (No. 2), Google (No. 5), and Apple (No. 84) are the only three employers to score a spot all 10 years that Glassdoor has released the list. Facebook has made an appearance for eight consecutive years.
Why are people crazy about Facebook?
“What we really see them appreciate most is the company’s mission-driven culture, transparent leadership, and the fact that their work literally impacts the lives of billions of people worldwide.” said Glassdoor CEO Robert Hohman of its crowning achievement.
Facebook VP of People Lori Goler, who’s in charge of the company’s global HR organization, says she’s particularly “excited” about leading the Glassdoor list since it’s based on ratings from Facebook’s own employees and reflects its internal culture.
“One of the themes in the reviews is people get great feedback here, they get coaching and room to learn and grow,” she said of the reasons Facebook scored so high. “Another theme is the impact every individual can have. Any job really matters. It’s a strength-based organization, so it matters that people are in roles that play to their strengths. When you put those things together and do it at scale, it’s a pretty magical combination.”
Goler notes that Facebook goes out of its way to instill a belief in clear, honest communication throughout its ranks, including “training for hard conversations” and weekly Q&As led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Even fast food received a glowing endorsement, with In-N-Out Burger hitting No. 4 and Chick-fil-A coming in at No. 72 on the list.
Glassdoor compiles its annual Employees’ Choice Awards based on anonymous reviewsof companies from current and former employees submitted on its site, which makes it unique among lists like these. Employees are encouraged to share pros and cons of working for their employer, and they rate workplace attributes like career opportunities, compensation and benefits, culture and values, senior management, and work-life balance. Ratings for the list are determined by the quantity, quality, and consistency of reviews in the eligibility timeframe (between November 1, 2016 and October 22, 2017).
