Every year, salary comparison website Glassdoor.com comes up with a list of the best places to work as part of its Employees' Choice Awards across the US and the UK.

The list is based on what the employees of these companies experienced over the past twelve months.

To be eligible for the rankings, each of these companies must have a minimum of 1000 employees.

Respondents were asked to rate the companies for their overall satisfaction, CEO leadership, career opportunities, compensation, and work-life balance.
