Conclusion

There are other companies on the list, and you can check them out on Indeed and GPTW. There is no doubt that they are big companies and owners of great brands.

The list is based on reviews from former employees. I found Indeed's list to be more spontaneous. This is because the numbers were acquired based on free reviews that employees make on the job site.

The GPTW list also considers employee evaluations, however, it is the companies that apply and provide details about the organization's profile and cultural practices.

However, this does not take away from the credibility of the list, since GPTW still carries out an assessment to verify the information provided by the company.

This assessment involves a survey of employees and their comments regarding their work at the company.
