Their extensive survey contained questions covering a number of factors including job satisfaction, work-life balance, compensation, advancement opportunities, company reputation, and their willingness to recommend their employer to others.

Once the results were calculated, Forbes ranked the top 500 mid-size and the top large companies. Only the highest-ranked companies made the cut.
