But with salary data often considered a taboo topic to discuss openly among colleagues and friends, how can you tell which companies pay well? To find out, careers website Comparably surveyed 10 million American workers at large companies (companies with more than 500 people) to get a sense of which companies pay their workers well, according to workers themselves.
