Company culture is everything these days. From retail to health care to tech, companies in every sector are going to great lengths to ensure that their mission, vision and values are expressed in every aspect of their business. There’s good reason for this: company culture is now the No. 1 reason people choose one job over another; just five years ago, the No. 1 reason was salary and benefits, according to research by executive search firm Korn Ferry.

Large companies (500+ employees) had to have a minimum of 50 employee participants and Small/MidSize companies (less than 500 employees) had to have a minimum of 15 employee participants.
