About

Since 2017, Comparably's annual Best Places to Work Awards honor the top-rated leaders and organizations in over 10 different categories, according to more than 10 million employee ratings. As the most accurate and comprehensive representation of what it's like to work at 60,000 U.S. companies, Comparably has become one of the most trusted third party sources for workplace culture and salary data.

In 2020, we expanded our platform to collect customer ratings for the first time. Later in 2021, Comparably will unveil a prestigious new list separate from employee-rated awards. Our inaugural Best Brands will be the only definitive list of its kind based on how customers rate the world's largest global companies. In addition to customer ratings, other factors include social media sentiment, leadership, financial standing, and company size. Showcase how your brand has impacted your business, the industry, and culture at-large. If you think your company deserves to be considered for our new annual list, enter now for your chance to be named one of the Best Brands.
