Some companies are a great place to work because they have it all: A positive work environment, leadership, work-life balance, and good benefits.
Career website Comparably just released its fourth annual ranking of small and midsize companies that have the best company culture. To do this, Comparably anonymously asked employees across 60,000 US companies from December 1, 2019 to December 1, 2020 50 questions related to how satisfied they are with the company's culture.
The questions cover 20 key metrics. These include career growth, leadership, and compensation, among others.
For instance, employees were asked questions related to satisfaction from "Do you typically look forward to coming to work every day?" to "Are you satisfied with your benefits?"
Of the small and midsize companies or those with less than 500 employees, hearing aid manufacturer Eargo ranked at the top followed by Pendo and EQRx.
