Everyone wants to help out their friends — especially friends currently seeking new employment.

But you have to be truly happy with your own work situation to recommend that your friend apply there.

Glassdoor recently came out with a breakdown of the organizations workers are most likely to talk up to friends.

On the job site, reviewers have the option to indicate whether or not they’d recommend the company to a friend. All of the institutions on the list have a “Recommend to a Friend” rating of over 85%, with at least 40 people who weighed in, and at least a 4.0 company rating out of 5.0.

With that in mind, here are some of the most-hyped companies on Glassdoor:
