The scoring was determined by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group based on an analysis of publicly accessible data, interviews with HR professionals, and results from an anonymous online survey of a wide range of employees at U.S. organizations with 1,000 or more employees. Questions about corporate culture, the work environment, and other topics at respondents’ own businesses and other businesses they were familiar with were asked. More than 350,000 corporate reviews were obtained through the study.
