‘An incredibly supportive place to work’

Tech companies dominated the list, including search giant Google (8th), remote conferencing company Zoom Video Communications (2nd), Procore (4th), Salesforce (11th), HubSpot (16th), DocuSign (17th), and Ultimate Software (18th). Tech giant Apple (APPL), meanwhile, tumbled 48 spots from No. 36 to No. 84.
A Salesforce Project Manager from Indianapolis said the company is “an incredibly supportive place to work and you get time off to volunteer.”
LinkedIn and Facebook (FB) were the only social media companies to crack the top 10, and were both rated 4.5. Facebook notably dropped from the top spot in 2018 to no. 7 in 2019. LinkedIn (MSFT), however, surged from no. 21 last year to the sixth spot in 2018.
