Due to the tight labor market, more small companies are offering perks like flexible work schedules to hire top talent.
Some small companies do a better job with their perks than others: job-listing site Comparably released its annual ranking of the 25 companies where employees have the best-work life balance.
Comparably analyzed anonymous employee feedback on their website to measure fair pay, perks, benefits, and work environment to find out what companies are the best at offering employees flexible schedules.
Many small and midsize companies in California dominated the ranking, as did computer software or information technology companies. Computer software company BambooHR, for instance, took the top spot, and seven of the top 10 small businesses were based in California.
Here are the 25 small to midsize companies where employees have the best work-life balance, plus worker quotes provided by Comparably from user posts. You can find a longer list with 25 major companies (as well as Comparably's methodology) here.
