About Comparably Awards
The rankings for the 8th Annual Comparably Awards were based on sentiment ratings provided by current employees via Comparably.com over a 12-month period (Nov. 11, 2023 - Nov. 11, 2024). Employees responded to questions across nearly 20 core culture metrics, including compensation (salary, bonus, raises), career growth (opportunities, mentorship, goals), leadership (CEO, executives, direct managers), and work environment (work-life balance, perks & benefits, coworkers), among others. Responses were collected in various formats, including yes/no, true/false, 1-10 scale, and multiple-choice. Each response was assigned a numerical score and compared to other companies of similar size.
To be eligible for inclusion, large companies (more than 500 employees) needed at least 75 employee participants, while small companies (up to 500 employees) required a minimum of 25 participants. Companies with higher participation rates from their employee base were given additional weight in the rankings to ensure statistical significance. There were no fees or costs involved in participating, and companies did not need to submit a nomination. Full methodology details are available here.
