Coca-Cola No. 9 in attracting talent, says LinkedIn

Coca-Cola is one of the top places where people want to work, according to jobs website LinkedIn.

The Atlanta-based beverage giant came in at No. 9 on LinkedIn’s list of 40 companies that are best at attracting and keeping top talent. It is the only Atlanta-based company on the list.

Coca-Cola was cited for its plan to soon offer six weeks paid leave to all new parents among other benefits.

LinkedIn judged companies on how long employees stick around, interest of non-employees to connect with a company’s employees through LinkedIn and the number of views on a corporation’s career page, among other criteria.

Tech giant Apple was No. 1 on the list, followed by 2. Salesforce, 3. Facebook, 4. Google and No. 5 Amazon.

The others: No. 6 Microsoft, No. 7 Uber, No. 8 Unilever and No. 10 Johnson & Johnson.

Pepsi, Coke’s rival, came in at No. 14.
