The 10 best U.S. places to work in 2023, according to Glassdoor

The Covid-19 pandemic triggered a historic quitting spree, and with it, a reevaluation among managers and workers of what makes a good workplace.

Some “green flags” remain unchanged—people will always seek jobs with fair wages, tolerable coworkers, and low turnover—but other benefits, including flexible work environments and employee mental health resources, have become more prominent.

2022 may have brought “extreme ups and downs” for workers, with hiring freezes and massive job cuts hitting some industries, but in 2023, companies will continue to double down on improving the employee experience to attract and retain talent, Glassdoor CEO Christian Sutherland- says Wong.

On Wednesday, Glassdoor released its annual list of the 100 Best Places to Work for 2023, ranking companies with at least 1,000 employees and 75 job site reviews. Each organization was rated on a 5-point scale for its career opportunities, compensation, culture, management, work-life balance and other factors.

Glassdoor researchers combed through millions of employee reviews and insights about companies featured on the site between October 2021 and October 2022 to compile the report.

Companies with higher ratings offer ample opportunities for career advancement, strong health care benefits, remote or hybrid work opportunities and clear and transparent communication between senior leadership and employees, among other benefits, the report notes.

Here are the 10 best places to work in 2023, according to Glassdoor:

1. Gainsight

Headquarters: San Francisco, California
Industry: Technology
Rating: 4.7

2. Box

Headquarters: Redwood City, California
Industry: Technology

3. Bain & Company

9. Service Now

10. In-N-Out Burger

Although the nine companies on the list appear to have the same average rating of 4.6, their actual ratings extend beyond the thousandth place, hence the change in ranking—Glassdoor simply limits the average rating to one decimal place in their published report.

Technology, finance and consulting had the most winners on the top 100 companies list, although six of the top 10 ranked employers were technology companies.

The tech sector may have had a tumultuous year of supply chain issues, layoffs, falling stocks and other challenges, but industry-wide adoption of flexible work and unique work opportunities still make tech companies places desirable to work, Daniel Zhao, chief economist at Glassdoor, says.

“In Glassdoor reviews, many employees at tech companies talk about the sense of pride and purpose they feel working on these various innovative products,” he adds. “The opportunity to design and build products that can change people’s lives, as well as the inspiring, charismatic leaders of technology companies, continue to attract people to these jobs.”

Another feature that employees and job seekers are paying more attention to is how companies approach layoffs. Companies with higher ratings had a clear track record, to employee ratings, of being transparent about how and why layoffs are happening, offering strong severance packages, and communicating job cuts in a timely and timely manner. with respect.

“It’s not impossible for a company to go through a crisis and still be a ‘best place to work,'” says Zhao. “In times of crisis, it becomes even more important that employees feel supported – and companies that prioritize transparency, communication and employee well-being are the ones that will benefit in the long run.”
