Project Details
About the project
First published in 2024, and now in its third edition, the America's Best Employers for Tech Workers 2026 ranking was created using feedback from professionals in the industry and a detailed methodology to evaluate companies. A survey of over 50,000 employees was conducted via several online access panels, providing a representative sample of America’s tech workforce. Respondents identified themselves as tech workers and were asked to evaluate both their own employer and other employers well known to them. They provided feedback on topics such as the workplace atmosphere, opportunities for development, salary, company image, culture, and working conditions.
To be considered for the ranking, companies had to have at least 1000 employees, of which a significant number are tech workers, and be based in the US. Companies from all industries were included. The final list recognizes the top 300 employers for tech professionals in the United States, grouped according to 25 industries.
Scoring
Identifying the leading tech employers
Our scoring model is based on data collected through independent surveys. Each employer’s final score is calculated as a weighted combination of a direct score, which accounts for 80%, and an indirect score, which accounts for 20%. The combined score is used to rank companies in the final list.
Direct score
The direct score reflects employees’ willingness to recommend their own employer. It makes up 80% of the final score for each employer. Respondents rate, on a scale from 0 to 10, how likely they are to recommend their company to friends or family, where 0 means “not at all likely” and 10 means “extremely likely.”
Indirect score
The indirect score captures the perceptions of employers beyond one’s own workplace. It makes up 20% of the final score for each employer. Based on the respondent’s industry, participants are shown a selection of relevant companies and can indicate whether they would recommend or advise against working for them. This provides an external view of each employer’s reputation within its sector.
METHODOLOGY
How we work
Learn about our general approach to creating employer rankings. Further details about how the ranking was created can be found in the America's Best Employers for Tech Workers 2026 methodology.
01 Concept
For our employment projects, we evaluate and rank the world’s leading employers, highlighting organizations that excel in fostering positive work environments and sustainable growth. Our rankings help job seekers make informed career choices while providing companies with a benchmark to assess their standing in the global job market.
02 Data Collection
For data collection, our team of analysts creates detailed online questionnaires that ask survey participants about work-related topics. By working with leading online access panels worldwide, suitable participants are identified and surveyed independently of potentially awarded employer brands. Survey responses are then checked for quality and validity (interview length, variances, inconsistencies) and sorted accordingly.
03 Evaluation
To evaluate the data, we apply a scoring model that combines direct feedback on the participants’ own employers with indirect feedback on other employers within their professional fields.
04 Quality Assurance
For each potential award-winning employer, company information is researched and eligibility for the list is confirmed. This step serves as quality assurance and is presented as information in the publication.
