The 25 best companies to interview with

Some ask insanely difficult or weird questions, while others drag out the process and never get back to you - leaving you wanting to give up on your whole job search.

A few, however, are known for providing candidates with a pleasant experience.

To find out which employers fall into that latter category, Glassdoor recently looked at the input of interview candidates who provided anonymous feedback by completing an interview review, where they were asked to rate their overall interview experience, describe the interview process, provide questions asked, rate the difficulty of the interview, and share other insights related to the process.

Glassdoor analyzed feedback from US-based candidates who interviewed at companies with 1,000 or more employees. Only companies with at least 100 reviews in the past year were considered.

To determine its list of The 50 Best Places to Interview in 2016, Glassdoor calculated an interview score for each company, which is based on positive interview experience ratings, but also takes interview duration and interview difficulty into consideration. Winners are ranked based on their interview score during the past year.

Below are the top 25 best places to interview in 2016. (See the complete list of all 50 here.)
