Gone are the days of simply offering competitive benefits and good salaries to retain a workforce. Employees want more than fair compensation — they want community, too.
Eighty-eight percent of workers believe that company culture is important in remote work, according to remote team building resource Gomada, and 78% of employees are actively looking for a more supportive work culture.
In an effort to help workers in their search for the company culture they're craving, workplace insights platform Comparably recently released its third-annual list of businesses with the best culture. The ranking is based on compensation data for public and private companies as well as anonymous ratings on Comparably.com, provided from February 2022 through February 2023, by both U.S.-based and international employees at large companies.

The platform ranked companies against 20 different categories, including compensation, leadership, work-life balance, professional development opportunities, perks and benefits.
"Chegg has the best company culture I've ever experienced in my 15 plus years of work," noted one employee of the student media platform, which placed third on the list. "The executive team regularly solicits feedback and cares about the wellbeing of our employees."
Despite a turbulent season riddled with layoffs and disgruntled employees, tech companies dominate Comparably's top 10. Chegg, Hubspot, Microsoft and RingCentral have all appeared on the list for three consecutive years, with Microsoft defending its ranking as the company with the best company culture for the second year in a row. Workday made its debut on the list coming in at the number two spot.
