Would you agree with this list ? ( http://247wallst.com/special-report/2014/08/07/236519/2/ )
From the introduction:
While companies have websites, public relations teams, and recruiters to tailor their message to prospective hires, employees have far fewer forums to communicate their views. Glassdoor.com, a career community website, provides the opportunity for employees to give their own opinions, and for potential employees to research the company. To identify the 75 Best Companies to Work For, 24/7 Wall St. examined company ratings provided by current and former employees to Glassdoor.com.

Being a market leader also appears to help. Many well-reviewed companies are the leaders in their respective industries, and as a result are financially successful. Apple, Intel, Procter & Gamble, and Walt Disney are all among the top-rated employers on Glassdoor.com and among the largest public companies in the world by market capitalization. Others are leaders in public relations, like Edelman and auditing giant EY, formerly Ernst & Young.

Not surprisingly, companies with strong employee reviews also give CEOs good grades. It would seem leadership matters, not just for running a company and producing returns for shareholders, but also for promoting employee satisfaction. Among the 75 best companies to work for, 38 have CEOs with an approval rating of 90% or higher. In all, just 10 CEOs have an approval rating below 80%, and all have the endorsement of at least two-thirds of their employees.

The best businesses to work for are probably ones you've never heard of, because the owner put taking care of its people above YoY revenue growth. Publicly traded companies can't do that because of the risk of shareholder revolts or lawsuits, and companies controlled by vulture^Hventure capitalists and other private investment firms can't because the controlling firm's success depends on squeezing its holdings as much as possible.
The worst businesses to work for are also ones you've never heard of, because the owners are so incompetent they can neither take care of their employees or their customers. Obviously, watch out for these guys.
Large businesses are generally mediocre employers: Beats a good kick in the teeth, but not someone you'll actually enjoy working for.
