Approximately 80,000 workers at U.S. companies with more than 500 employees were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family. Employees also evaluated other employers in their respective industries and identified factors that stood out either positively or negatively.  The survey assessed each company according to working conditions, salary, potential for growth, and diversity.
