Top Startups to Work For in Oregon

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 Oregon 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.
