News: Top Companies to Work For in 2014

Online jobs and career community, Glassdoor has just announced its sixth annual Employees’ Choice Awards, which ranks the 50 Best Places to Work For in the forthcoming year.
And social media companies have invaded the Top 5 slots, which feature Twitter at No. 2, LinkedIn at No. 3 and Facebook at No. 5. The ranking of the top companies was determined by taking cumulative average ratings from the half-million employees at companies with a workforce of at least 1,000, who responded to the 18-question survey between November 14, 2012, and November 12, 2013.

Employees complete an anonymous company review survey that captures their overall job and company satisfaction, along with sentiment toward career opportunities, compensation and benefits, work-life balance, senior leadership and more,” it says.
