Now that 2020 is over, many hope that the new year will bring better and brighter opportunities.
On Tuesday, the Glassdoor jobs site released its annual list of the top 100 jobs in 2021. For the report, Glassdoor analyzed 70 million employee reviews of more than 1.3 million companies.
Organizations with at least 1,000 employees were considered for the ranking, and management consulting firm Bain & Company was recognized as the best job in the US in 2021.
Glassdoor economists and analysts have identified several common themes mentioned by employees of some of the highest rated companies: consistent communication on the Covid-19 background; flexible working environments; Balance between life and profession; transparent transparent leadership; good health benefits; mission-oriented company cultures; intelligent colleagues and collaborators; a clear direction of the company; career advancement opportunity; and the opportunity to do impact work.
Companies such as Google, which ranked sixth on the list, have adopted more flexible work schedules due to the pandemic.
Interestingly, even companies that were significantly affected by the coronavirus pandemic made the list, such as Delta Air Lines, which last year placed more than 40,000 employees on unpaid leave. The company still has a rating of 4.5 / 5 from its employees on Glassdoor.
“Covid-19 is in the driver’s seat and every employer has been affected,” said Christian Sutherland-Wong, CEO of Glassdoor. “This year’s winning employers have proven, according to employees, that even in extraordinary times, they will face the challenge of supporting their people.”
Here are the top 10 best jobs in the US in 2021, according to Glassdoor:
