Forbes worked with Statista, a market research firm, to survey more than 160,000 employees of companies with at least 500 people. Those employees were asked how likely they were to recommend their employer to others on a scale of zero to 10. Survey participants also evaluated employers they had worked for within the past two years, as well as other organizations within their industry, and organizations that their friends and family work for. The responses were then tallied and incorporated into a scoring system, along with survey data taken from the past three years. Companies that had the highest scores were included in Forbes' list.
