The Best Companies to dedicate yourself in 2019 : It's not Apple, Google or Facebook

Whether it’s the management, sweet perks, or endless opportunities, some companies just know how to make their employees happy.

Job community site Glassdoor released its annual Employees’ Choice Award, which measures employee satisfaction on the scale of one to five, as well as their overall experience in the companies.

This year’s top 5 are Bain & Co., Twitter , LinkedIn , Eastman Chemical , and Facebook . Global consulting firm Bain, which also ranked first this year, has reclaimed the very best spot from Facebook, which dropped out of the top three for the first time in four years. (Bain, based in Boston, collects workplace awards in an impressive rate, not only from Glassdoor but additionally from Working Mother and Consulting magazines and the Human Rights Campaign).

Second-ranked Twitter is brand-new to the Top 50, much like Disney and Chick-Fil-A. Costco Wholesale , with a long-standing track record of employee satisfaction, jumped from #46 on last year’s list to #16 this season, the biggest climb of any company on this list.

Fields with fans
The tech sector led the field with 22 companies out there, including insurance software provider Guidewire, answering services company software company Interactive Intelligence, and Google.

Several grocery companies rang at any height scores, including Costco, which rates high overall on pay, benefits, and room for advancement; and regional chains HEB, Publix, and Wegman’s.

Healthcare companies diagnosed with an instance of employee satisfaction are medical device-maker Stryker, the Mayo Clinic, biotech veteran Genentech, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

Consumer items that earned employee loyalty are Procter & Gamble, Nike, and Nestle’s Purina, where dogs are welcome in the company’s corporate offices and there’s an on-site dog park.

High-flying travel companies about this year’s list are Orbitz Worldwide, Southwest Airlines, and Hyatt Hotels.

Old and new energy companies have workers fired up. On the list are Chevron, gas and oil equipment provider Cameron International, and SolarCity, which installs photovoltaic systems for homeowners and businesses. SolarCity’s enterprise clients include Wal-Mart, the U.S. military, and cities and schools round the country.

Chain restaurants that serve up worker satisfaction are Starbucks, Chick-Fil-A, and Texas Roadhouse. At a time when fast-food workers round the country are beginning to arrange strikes, Chick-Fil-A gets high marks for flexible hours and Sundays off. Starbucks’ policy of granting benefits to both full and part-timers gets warm reviews from the baristas.
