The Top Ten

First American Equipment Finance

+2 spotsPrev. #3

Employees say:"This company is the only company I have worked for since graduating college. Hearing from others who have come from other companies, our company stands out compared to the rest. We have a culture of respect and hard work. Colleagues can bring their authentic selves to work, and we are given the autonomy to run our client business the way we find best. Everyone is treated fairly and we have fun working together towards a shared vision. Our facility is another thing that sets us apart. Our HQ is a place people want to be."

Shawmut Design and Construction

NEW

Employees say:"Here I know I have every opportunity possible to learn, grow and if I choose to someday, lead. I am set up for success and supported every step of the way. We are all one team here and culture isn't just a term; it's our way of life. I am truly honored to work here!"

Grow Therapy

NEW

Employees say:"There's a strong sense of collaboration here, and everyone really supports one another's growth.

Cyera

Employees say:"The culture genuinely feels similar to a family, people care about each other and want them to succeed. If I ever ask anyone for help, even if their role is way higher than mine and they have far more important things to do, they always go above and beyond to make sure I'm taken care of, put time on my calendar and sit down with me to help me learn and develop."

Chainlink Labs

NEW

Employees say:"You are given unlimited amounts of ownership and given the resources to get the best work done. People here genuinely love what they do and take pride in doing great work. The industry is new so the work itself is very exciting. Overall, this is my favorite job I've ever had."

Victory Home Remodeling

Kinetik Healthcare Solutions

+26 spotsPrev. #33

Employees say:"Kinetik has a really unique mix of fast-paced startup energy and a team that actually supports each other. People jump in to help without hesitation, and there's a genuine sense of ownership across teams. What stands out the most is how collaborative everyone is—engineering, product, ops, and leadership all work closely together instead of staying in separate silos. There's also a lot of trust here; you're given space to make decisions, solve problems, and contribute to bigger initiatives without being micromanaged. It creates an environment where you feel both challenged and supported at the same time."

ESL Federal Credit Union

+11 spotsPrev. #19
