“Very Satisfied!”

4.5

A Demand Planner said:

“I'm proud to work for GMI!”

They are good community partners, they genuinely care about diversity, and they are well respected as a company. They are consistently ranked among the best companies to work for and their pay/benefits are competitive. The headquarters…is rather impressive as well boasting an impressive cafeteria, health facility…You could probably live on campus if you wanted to. These amenities go a long way into making the real life more manageable so that you can focus on performing well at your job.

How the Top 50 Were Selected

The Top 50 were selected from more than 11,000 companies reviewed by the nearly 75,000 employees who completed a 20-question survey on Glassdoor.com in 2008. To be eligible for the list, a company must have had at least all of the following as of December 15, 2008:

  • 25 reviews from United States-based employees,
  • "satisfied" ratings overall and across all categories, and
  • a CEO with at least a 50% approval rating.

Read more.

The survey questions relate to employees' attitudes about Career Opportunities, Communication, Compensation & Benefits, Employee Morale, Recognition & Feedback, Senior Leadership, Work/Life Balance, and Fairness & Respect. After the overall ratings are calculated, a company may be excluded from the list if our review panel determines detrimental acts by management or other negative company events could ultimately damage employees' faith in the company's senior leadership and/or adversely affect its overall rating on Glassdoor.com.

A complete copy of the survey along with additional information about the methodology may be requested via email: bestplacestowork@glassdoor.com.
