Biggest Rivalries in Tech: A Culture Study of Facebook, Snapchat & Twitter

Facebook, Snapchat, and Twitter – they’re three of the most widely used social media platforms in the world. With more than 1.8 billion monthly active users, Facebook alone reaches a larger mass of people than the entire population of China.

Each of these companies is helping to shape the world we live in, but which one is most transformative from within? Using its extensive database of anonymous employee ratings, Comparably has analyzed how employees rate each company’s culture and leadership.

Each company was ranked based on the following scores (out of 100):
