CareerBliss just released its 7th annual CareerBliss 50 Happiest Companies in America. This is an award given to those companies who have the most numbers of happiest employees. CareerBliss is one of the most sought after website of every working individual. They use this website to review their employers.

Other companies such as Amgen Inc, Keller Williams Realty, Visa, Inc. and Total Quality Logistics belonged in the top five.

The company’s ranking will be based on rates that their employers gave them. They will be rated based on its working environment, relationship with its staff and management, growth opportunities, job satisfaction in terms of their specific positions as well as its salary compensation. Almost every aspect of a company is being rated by their employees in order for them to gauge if they are indeed in the right place and that if they are happy with their jobs. There were around 22,000 reviews made as reported by Forbes.

Meanwhile, Glassdoor’s public relation specialist, Allison Berry shared that there are different things to consider in finding the best place to work with. Berry said that "What we see in each of the companies on the list are common themes like employees that feel valued, that feel they are working towards a clear, shared vision and mission, that they are working with other incredibly smart people.” She added, “We also see a trend of competitive compensation and great benefits as well as lots of opportunity for advancement and transparent leadership."
