Top 25 happiest companies to work for

ExploreTrending on Facebook

CareerBliss, an online career site, just released their list for the 50 happiest companies in America this year. The site ranked each company using eight factors that impact professional happiness: work-life balance, an employee's relationship with his or her boss and co-workers, office environment, job resources, compensation, opportunities for professional development, and company culture.

"Each year, CareerBliss evaluates the companies dedicated to creating happier work environments," said Heidi Golledge, CEO of CareerBliss. "This year we saw a surge of STEM-related companies (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) ranking in the top 10. As we evaluate the factors that impact happiness such as growth opportunity and company culture, it is also important to understand what type of industries are creating happier work environments overall." she added.

Each ranking identifies the company's rating out of five stars, the average salary of employees at that company and a link to see available jobs with the business.
