“At Legence, we believe in cultivating a workplace where people feel supported, empowered, challenged, and inspired.

U.S. News’ Best Companies to Work For ratings reflect the ever-changing sentiments impacting employee decision-making when evaluating the “best” company for them. These sentiments are examined using factors that include quality of pay and benefits, work-life balance and flexibility, job and company stability, physical and psychological comfort, belongingness and esteem, and career opportunities and professional development.

“The job market is rapidly changing in the age of AI adoption, and job seekers understand the impact this shift will have on workplace culture and subsequently, their quality of life and overall happiness,” said U.S. News Vice President of Careers Carly Chase. “The list reveals private companies that scored high on multiple metrics that promote a positive work environment and everyday employee experience.”

The Best Companies to Work For: Private Companies list features the top 277 companies out of 1,094 businesses evaluated across 14 industries. To calculate the ratings, U.S. News only considered privately owned companies with at least 5,000 employees that had at least 75 Glassdoor reviews written between 2021 and 2024.
