These are the top 14 tech companies people want to work at, according to LinkedIn

YouTube

On Thursday, LinkedIn released its annual list of the companies people want to work at in the US, and it’s absolutely dominated by tech giants.

In fact, every single one of the top seven are tech, only finally broken by Time Warner at eight and Disney at nine. 

LinkedIn based its list on the actions of users and looked at three main aspects: “interest in a company’s jobs, interest in a company’s brand and employees, and employee retention.” This leads to a few familiar faces at the top (hello Facebook and Alphabet), but also some surprises (Uber? Still?).
