Whether it’s through cloud computing, social media, the Internet of Things or drones, the tech giants of today are innovating their way into the future. As they plow ahead, they need the right employees to get them there — and the competition for talent is fierce.

Those companies include: Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Google, Intel, Intuit, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, and Salesforce.
Each company is ranked based on the following scores:

Methodology
- The data was derived from the online responses of current employees at each company. Respondents answered various questions within five key categories: 1) compensation; 2) leadership; 3) team; 4) work environment; and 5) sentiment rating. Questions were in Yes/No, True/False, 1-10 scale, and multiple choice format. For fairness and accuracy, each question was assigned a point value or averaged.
- Companies must be publicly traded and have at least 80 employee ratings on Comparably to qualify.
- Data was collected between March 2016 and August 2017.
