When it comes to finding a great place to work, we all have one thing in common. We all want to work for an organization that has a proven track record of being a not-terrible place to work. In fact, I think it’s safe to say that most of us want to work somewhere that feels satisfying.
Satisfying in this case means that even though you might not be passionate about what your daily job entails, you love the organization you work for. These are just the kind of organizations we at PayScale sought to recognize in the PayScale Hero Awards, where we found over 140 companies that are making company cultures that employees truly love.

Methodology
Employers are included in the list if at least 80 percent of employees reported high satisfaction and the result was statistically significant. For employers with over 85 percent of employees satisfied, we included all employers with a margin of error smaller than +-10 percent. For employers between 80 percent and 85 percent, we include employers with a margin of error +-5 percent. In this sense, we can say that all employers on the list have levels of satisfaction statistically significantly higher than 75 percent. Overall, we examined 276,067 salary profiles from 62,501 distinct employers. These profiles were collected between November 2015 and November 2017.
