How did U.S. News & World Report select Best Companies?
In compiling the rankings, U.S. News & World Report looked at businesses with publicly traded stock in the Russell 3000 index of largest companies as of June 2023. The businesses also needed to have a minimum of 75 U.S.-based Glassdoor reviews between 2020 and 2023.

Here are the six metrics that determined the best companies to work for, according to U.S. News & World Report:
- Quality of pay and benefits, “whether employees feel adequately compensated for their work, as well as living wage data and a company’s compensation vs. its competitors.”
- Work/life balance and flexibility, based on flexible work policies and “employee perception of opportunities for work/life balance and flexibility.”
- Job and company stability, using data on “corporate governance quality and the attrition rate of a company’s senior leadership….”
- Physical and psychological comfort, “defined as a safe work environment.”
- Sense of belonging and esteem, “whether employees feel connected to the organization and appreciated for their contributions.”
- Career opportunities and professional development, considering “factors like mobility rates within a company and opportunities for benefits like tuition assistance, as well as growth opportunities perceived by employees.”
