Methodology
The survey was conducted using an online access panel, providing a representative sample of ~50,000 employees working part- or full-time for companies and institutions employing more than 1,000 employees in the U.S. Participation in the survey was voluntary, and respondents were recruited from thousands of sources to maximize reach and representation.

Each employee has been asked which firm or institution he or she works for, in an open-ended question with an autofill-option. Where appropriate, subsidiaries of larger entities have been combined for evaluation. The survey has been conducted on companies from all industry sectors employing more than 1,000 employees in the U.S. The recommended employers have been grouped into one of the 25 industry sectors.

The evaluation was based on two distinct criteria: direct and indirect recommendations.

Further, the employees were asked 35 questions about work related topics. Employees were asked to give their opinions on a series of statements surrounding work-related topics of working conditions, salary, potential for development and company image regarding their current employer.
