Before accepting your current gig, you probably checked Glassdoor [1], a jobs and recruiting site, for ratings and reviews on the company. Glassdoor provides information on salaries, benefits, the interview process [2], number of employees, revenue, and location of headquarters for individual businesses — safe to say these details are helpful when you're nose-deep in the job search [3].
Based on its site data, Glassdoor has officially revealed the top 50 companies to work for in the United States in the past few years [4]. Common themes among the winners include employees feeling valued, unique cultures that align with the company's mission, smart colleagues, great perks and benefits, clear direction, opportunity for advancement, mission/values driven, transparent senior leadership, and challenging or exciting work.
