Glassdoor: The Top 10 Tech Companies To Work For In 2023

Glassdoor says that 41 tech companies made up the 2023 100 Best Places to Work list for several reasons, including a focus on better pay and benefits, diversity, equity and inclusion, and flexible work schedules/a good work-life balance.

Who Made The Cut

Glassdoor this week revealed its annual 100 Best Places to Work list for large, U.S.-based companies. Several large tech giants made the cut, including a brand-new addition to the list that nabbed the top spot.

Glassdoor, a website that allows current and former employees anonymously review companies, uses at least 75 ratings across nine workplace attributes from U.S.-based employees at companies of at least 1,000 employees as requirements for its annual list. The nine workplace attributes that are weighed are career opportunities, compensation and benefits, culture and values, diversity and inclusion, senior management, work-life balance, recommend to a friend, six-month business outlook, and overall company rating.
