Forbes “America’s Best Employers” annual list is comprised of over 30,000 employee survey responses at mid-size and large companies in 25 different industries across the United States. Respondents were asked to complete a 35-question anonymous survey through an online access panel that ranked both their own employer and other employers in the same industry sector, resulting in a ranking of the country’s top 500. The willingness to recommend one's own employer on a scale of 1-10 was given the most weight. Additionally, respondents were asked to mention good or bad employers in industries other than their own. To make the final top 500 list, companies had to receive over 100 positive mentions from current employees and industry professionals as well as an additional 20 direct recommendations.
