If you're a Facebook, Google, or LinkedIn employee, chances are you like your job more than the next person.
Jobs and recruiting website Glassdoor released its 2017 edition of its annual list of the 50 best places to work on Wednesday. The list is compiled using employee feedback on benefits, salary and pros and cons of working for the employer.
Bain & Company is the best company to work for. The management consulting firm's comprehensive benefits program, which offers low co-pays and an employee wellness program, has consistently remained a top five place to work for the past seven years.
Employee reviews say the "tough, but rewarding" work culture makes a job at the firm the "best post-MBA job to have." Bain also boasts the highest-rated CEOs on Glassdoor for a second straight year.
Runner-up Facebook is the second-best large company to work for in 2017. The social network offers its employees 16 weeks of paid maternity or paternity leave, an extra month more than the 12 weeks mandated by New York state.
LinkedIn and Adobe rounded out the top five large companies to work for. In one review, a LinkedIn employee wrote "Generation X and [Baby] Boomers need not apply", which implies the professional social networking service's work culture is millenial-friendly.
