26 of the best, highest-paying companies in America

Yes, it's important to find a job that offers meaningful work, high job satisfaction, and great benefits. But that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice a hefty paycheck.

Business Insider recently teamed up with PayScale, a compensation software and data company, to compile its list of the 50 best companies to work for in America.
