Facebook tops the list of Glassdoor Best Tech Places to work in US

In a survey done by Glassdoor finding the best tech firm to work in the US in 2017, Facebook came at the top followed by Google and World Wide Technologies. The list was dominated by other well-known technology firms with big tech powerhouses such as LinkedIn, Adobe, SAP, Apple and Microsoft all featuring in the top-20 list released by the surveying firm.

Facebook’s People Head, Lori Matloff Goler, said that the firm focuses on being a “strengths-based organization” and wants to be known as an employer that “takes good care of its people overall”. He also told that Facebook made the list for the seventh time and topped the tech category because employees raved about their employer, overall, especially around compensation and benefits and perks that make day to day life easier like free meals or transportation.

While Facebook has been rising on the table, Airbnb, which was the winner last year, dropped out of the Top-20 list, and ended on 34th position this year.

Glassdoor compiles compensation data, reviews and ratings by employees about the companies where they work. Its data sample comes from employees who self-select to offer information there. Some of the parameters on which the companies were rated were work-life balance, career opportunities, culture and values, senior leadership etc.
