The Top Ten

Dow

Prev. #1

Chemicals

Employees say:"Dow has people who care. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023, and I was blown away by the number of people from my current and past roles and teams who reached out to me for support. The support from other Dow team members is really what makes this company special! I had good leadership support and benefits, but it is the people who made me eager to come back to work."

Stryker

+1 spotPrev. #3

Medical devices

Employees say: "Stryker is mission driven, and all decisions made—from the top down—are made with our mission to make health care better in mind. The people here are dedicated to creating a positive impact on health care and impacting the patient experience, as well as the experience of health care workers. Leadership encourages speaking up and sharing your perspective. Employee growth and engagement is of top importance. I feel truly cared for by my boss and colleagues."

Hilcorp Energy

-1 spotPrev. #2

Coke, refined petroleum products, and nuclear fuel

Employees say:"One unique aspect of Hilcorp is its open-book management. This innovative approach, where our operations group takes ownership of financial and safety reports, has significantly improved the dynamic between operations and support staff. It's a testament to our commitment to transparency and collaboration. Moreover, the executive staff, operations managers, controllers, and most ATLs actively encourage interaction. They treat all with the same importance, fostering a sense of inclusivity and support within our team."

The Wonderful Company

Prev. #4

Food products

Employees say:"I had a stroke in early 2023 and I was out the rest of the year. This company kept my job, and when I came back in 2024, I was treated so well. I was told that if I needed more time, to take it; that if I needed any accommodations I should tell my managers/HR; and they gave me the chance to slowly get back to my job. They displayed a loyalty to me, just an employee (not an executive), which is rare in today's American work culture. I love my company and my managers."

Constellation Energy

+12 spotsPrev. #17

Alternative energy

Employees say: "What's unique about this company is both the passion and mission set forth from the top. You find employees across the company with a passion for going above and beyond to 1) do their job and 2) help support others in doing their job as needed. The mission of our company to be the leader in producing carbon-free energy is also about making the world a better place for the future, and volunteering/supporting our communities go hand in hand with that. When you have a community of people that prioritize a future of giving back and making the world a better place for future generations, you have kind and caring employees that feel supported."

Schneider Electric

+3 spotsPrev. #9

Electronics

Employees say:"I am always valued on both a professional and personal level. My mental health and well-being are a priority of my management team, and the care I feel from my team makes me want to perform for them. My team genuinely cares about me and encourages me to push/challenge myself to excel with anything I do. My company always has my back, and my coworkers are great to work with."

Altria Group

-1 spotPrev. #6

Beverages and tobacco

Employees say:"Altria has admirable workplace flexibility, and Altria was trailblazing the path of workplace flexibility even before COVID started. Those who are able to do their jobs fully remotely can work remotely without judgement, and those with roles that sometimes need to be in person (such as engineering) are still given the flexibility to work hybrid if they don't need to be in person that day. This aspect of the culture alone has been a game changer for me and many of my coworkers—especially those who would have long commutes, those who are parents, those who have health conditions, and those who have pets—and it has led to increases in productivity, better retention, and greater employee satisfaction."

Ultradent Products

+2 spotsPrev. #10

Medical devices

Employees say:"This company was originally founded in 1978 by Dr. Dan Fischer in South Jordan, Utah. Although Dr. Fischer is retired now, he still actively walks the halls and talks with everyone. Many large-sized companies nowadays have insular upper management that routinely look to trim bonuses and extras. However, Ultradent truly feels like it values its employees. The company has grown in size over the years but still maintains a small-company family atmosphere. Little things like popcorn, company-provided food and snacks, fitness gyms, and Rest and Relaxation (time off during the holidays) also contribute to a wonderful work culture."

GE HealthCare Technologies

NEW

Health care

Employees say: "Though we are a very large, global organization, we collaborate together at the individual level and there is a strong sense of 'one GEHC.' We are clear on our purpose to keep patients and customers at the forefront of what we do and are often reminded about the global impact we are having in health care, regardless of our role. When someone reaches out to me or I reach out to them, I feel there is a strong sense of servant leadership and desire to help. I continue to be amazed at the colleagues I have met across the globe who know me first as a person and secondly as my role—people genuinely enjoy creating relationships across regions, functions, and segments, which makes work fun, enjoyable, and personable!"

Alcon Laboratories

+10 spotsPrev. #20

Medical devices

Employees say: "Treating individuals like actual people instead of a number within the workforce is something which sets Alcon apart from a lot of other employers in the metroplex. I always feel I can share my thoughts, suggestions, or whatever else I want to share, and it doesn't matter to what level within the organization it is shared with; people treat one another with respect and genuinely care about what others are doing, feeling, going through, etc. Individuals here feel engaged, appreciated, and recognized for the contributions they provide to Alcon. I have honestly never worked for a company that has a genuine desire to recognize people for what they do. Definitely refreshing!"
