Forbes Survey
The annual Forbes list is compiled through an independent survey of 30,000 US employees across 25 industries. Employees were asked how likely they were to recommend their company to friends and family, and which organisations they would choose in addition to their own. The survey also looked at benefits, workplace diversity, career development opportunities and recognition of employee performance.
Costco Wholesale was ranked first overall by Forbes, followed by Google, and sports equipment store REI.
