The recent wave of layoffs in the tech industry over the past two years has left many professionals searching for new opportunities. This has also led many job seekers to wonder which companies offer satisfied, well-compensated, and challenged employees. To answer this, Forbes, in partnership with market research firm Statista, conducted a survey of over 25,000 tech workers in the U.S., and on September 17, the results will be revealed in the inaugural list of America’s Best Employers For Tech Workers.
The survey included tech employees from companies with a minimum of 1,000 U.S.-based employees. These tech workers, ranging from software developers and cybersecurity experts to cloud computing specialists, data project managers, and technical support staff, evaluated their employers across various sectors.
Respondents were asked how likely they were to recommend their current or previous employer (within the past two years) and companies they were familiar with through peers, family, or friends. Current employees also rated their employers on factors such as salary, opportunities for professional growth, workplace flexibility, openness to employee input, and whether the company was considered technologically progressive. Data from three years of Forbes-Statista employee surveys was used in the analysis.
The responses were then compiled, with greater weight given to input from current employees. Each company received a score based on the survey results, and the top 200 employers were included in the America’s Best Employers For Tech Workers 2024 list.
