Top Startups to Work For in Long Beach

How do we decide whether we like the companies we work for? A company has to have great leadership, a strong mission, and produce a worthy product or service to make most of us feel like we’re part of something worthwhile. Beyond that, we all have things we want personally from a company: a solid paycheck, good benefits, coworkers we like, and a challenging and rewarding atmosphere.

These companies based in Long Beach were rated as the best to work for by their own employees on Comparably. This means they’re doing something very right. A job can be a source of great joy or great hardship, so the fact that these employees are so enthusiastic about the companies they work for is a sure sign that they’ve found that ideal mix of culture, compensation, and environment.

The list that follows is a live leaderboard of the top startups in the area based on current employees’ ratings and reviews. Companies are ranked based on their all time ratings and the ranking can change as employees leave new ratings and reviews.

Experienced And Dedicated Injury Advocacy. A severe injury can uproot your life for months – or years. You need adequate recovery time and a financial safety net to hold you and your family over when you get hurt. Sadly, getting the funds you need to recover isn’t easy, especially when dealing with big, sometimes greedy, insurance companies. We’re not afraid to fight aggressively to get the compensation you need. We don’t think insurers should push you around or try to offer you less money than you deserve. We can do the hard work for you; all you need to do is focus on recovering – and we’ll keep you updated throughout every step of the process.

Some of the best things about my team are our strong sense of collaboration and mutual support. We work incredibly well together, sharing knowledge and helping each other succeed. Everyone brings unique strengths to the table.
