A ton of Minnesota and Wisconsin companies made the list. In fact, some were pretty high up on the list too! The list is comprised of about 600 companies and it's cool to see that Minnesota and Wisconsin contributed to it in a big way.
How Was This List Made?
For the record, a 'large' company in this instance is one with at least 5,000 employees. Forbes surveyed workers at these large companies and asked them to rate their employer and if they would recommend it to others.
Current employees, those that worked for those companies within the past two years and those familiar with the companies were also surveyed. They also took companies rated consistently well over the years and data from the last three years to make this list.
