Methodology
Comparably Awards are derived from sentiment ratings provided by employees who anonymously rated their employers on Comparably.com between November 26, 2017 and November 26, 2018. There were no fees or costs associated with participating, nor was nomination required. To qualify, Large companies (more than 500 employees) must have a minimum of 50 employee participants and Small/Mid-Size companies (fewer than 500 employees) must have a minimum of 15 employee participants. Winners were determined based on a series of 50 questions employees of color were asked across nearly 20 core culture metrics. The answer to each question was given a numerical score and then compared to companies of similar size across the U.S. Additional weight was given to scores at companies with more participation from their employee base. The final data set was compiled from nearly 10 million ratings across 50,000 U.S. companies on Comparably.com. Contact Comparably for employee commentary, images, company descriptions, or to interview specific winners.
