But smaller companies have some stellar perks of their own, and can provide the kind of company culture and environment you won't be able to find at a big business.
Great Place to Work just published its annual list of the 25 best small workplaces (25-249 employees) and 25 best medium workplaces (250-999 employees) in America. It considered over 550 companies on five dimensions - credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie - and factored in several other attributes that contribute to a great workplace environment, including strong perceptions of fairness in the workplace, an inclusive environment, approachable leaders, care for employees as people, and enjoyment of workplace.
