Comparably’s inaugural Best Global Company Culture list highlights the Top 50 highest-rated workplace cultures of large companies (more than 500 employees) with an international footprint. Ratings are derived from current employees (within and outside of the U.S.) who provided anonymous feedback on Comparably.com over the past 12 months. Nearly 20 different workplace culture categories were measured, from compensation, leadership, and work-life balance to professional development opportunities, and perks and benefits. All ratings were given during the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020 through March 2021), making this list especially relevant for job seekers looking for a great place to work with international locations.

Methodology
- This set of Comparably Awards is derived from sentiment ratings provided by employees who anonymously rated their employers on Comparably.com during a 12-month period (March 22, 2020 through March 22, 2021).
- Winners were determined based on employee feedback to a combination of workplace culture questions in nearly 20 categories, including compensation, leadership, and professional development opportunities to work-life balance, perks and benefits. Questions were asked in a variety of data-driven formats – in yes/no, true/false, 1-10 scale, multiple choice – providing an accurate and comprehensive look at what it’s really like to work at companies.
- The answer to each question was given a numerical score and then compared to companies of similar size. For fairness and statistical significance, additional weight was given to companies with more participation from their employee base.
- There were no fees or costs associated with participating, nor was nomination required. The final data set was compiled from millions of ratings on Large companies. To qualify, Large companies (more than 500 employees) must have met a minimum of 75 employee participants from both inside the U.S. and internationally.
