Great places to work in 2017
Looking for a new job? Glassdoor says these places are a good bet
Not all companies are created or managed equally, of course. How can you figure out which ones are where you'd like to build your career? The folks at Glassdoor figure the best way to find out if a company is a great place to work is to ask the people who toil there.
Glassdoor looked at more than 2.1 million reviews, which ask employees or former employees to rate numerous things, including work-life balance, senior management and compensation, and listed the best ones. The scale is from 1 to 5, and the locations listed below are where the quoted employee works, not necessarily where the headquarters is.
