Methodology
- This set of Comparably Awards is derived from sentiment ratings provided by employees in engineering departments 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 co-workers to professional development opportunities, work-life balance, and 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 thousands of ratings on Large and SMB companies with engineering departments. To qualify, Large companies (more than 500 employees) must have met a minimum of 25 employee participants and SMB companies needed 15 employee participants.
