Glassdoor, a jobs and career community, has announced the winners of the fifth annual Employees’ Choice Awards – a list of the 50 Best Places to Work for 2013.<\/p>\n

Facebook has featured on the list for three consecutive years – hitting the number one spot on debut in 2011, but dropping to third in 2012.<\/p>\n

For the 2013 list, the social network giant regained the top spot.<\/p>\n

“We strive to make Facebook a place where everyone is able to have an impact doing what they love. Receiving this award is a testament to the culture of builders we’ve worked hard to create,” said Lori Goler, Facebook’s vice president of people and recruiting.<\/p>\n

Google, which has featured on the list for 5 years, came in as the 6th best company to work for – while heavyweight, Apply, ranked in at 34th position.<\/p>\n

Professional social network, LinkedIn, was ranked 14th, while Intel (31st), Qualcomm (38th) and SAP (42nd) also feature on the list.<\/p>\n

The awards<\/h3>\n

The Employees’ Choice Awards rely solely on the input of employees who elect to provide feedback on their job, work environment and company, via Glassdoor’s anonymous online company review survey.<\/p>\n

Nearly half a million company reviews were submitted to Glassdoor during the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

The Glassdoor company review survey asks employees to rate their satisfaction with the company overall and key workplace factors, such as career opportunities, compensation and benefits, work\/life balance, senior management, as well as culture and values.<\/p>\n

“The Employees’ Choice Awards are one of the highest honors a company can receive, as it is an authentic and tangible reflection of employee satisfaction,” said Robert Hohman, Glassdoor CEO and co-founder.<\/p>\n

“Due to greater workplace transparency, information about what it’s like to work at particular companies is becoming increasingly influential as job seekers and employees consider their next career move.”<\/p>\n
