LinkedIn Top Companies

LinkedIn's lists are based on billions of actions globally by the site's registered users. In 2018, the methodology focused on measuring interest in a company’s jobs and people, as well as a company’s ability to retain its employees. At that time, performance metrics included the rate at which people were viewing and applying to job postings, including paid listings, unpaid ones and those linked from other sites. LinkedIn also tracked how many professionals were viewing a company’s career page, how many non-employees were asking to connect with a company’s employees—and whether employees at companies under study were sticking around for at least a year. Academic experts such as Wharton professors Charles Bidwell and Adam Grant, along with Harvard Business School professor Francesca Gino, have advised LinkedIn on how to expand the analysis that underlies these rankings. All results are normalized to ensure that companies are measured against peers. The lists consider public and privately held companies with 500 or more employees, with the exception of LinkedIn and its parent company, Microsoft, which are excluded. == Hallmarks of top companies ==

In the 2018 U.S. list, companies in technology, media and finance were especially prominent, according to CNBC. Among the top 10 U.S. companies analyzed by Inc., Amazon offered to prepay 95 percent of tuition, textbooks, and fees for its employees to receive training in "professions of the future." Alphabet's newest offices included sky-high dog parks, indoor fire pits, and bouldering walls. Tesla has a carpool program that lets employees drive a Tesla to work and keep it on weekends, and Comcast NBCUniversal employees get complimentary access to Universal theme parks, as well as early access to NBCUniversal movies and TV shows. In the 2021 list, according to AdWeek, the COVID-19 pandemic increased the prominence of healthcare companies on the list. These include UnitedHealth Group (No. 11), CVS Health (15), Kaiser Permanente (23), Johnson & Johnson (30) and HCA Healthcare (34). Companies with active diversity initiatives also appeared prominently. So did companies that helped employees build more of a life at home. == United States lists ==
