Blind named Anthropic, Netflix and Google among 2026's top U.S. workplaces, spotlighting where verified professionals say career growth, culture and leadership are strongest right now.
Who Topped The List
Blind, the anonymous community app for professionals, published its latest U.S. rankings on February 27, 2026. The top-rated organizations include Anthropic, NASA, Bain & Company, Netflix, Datadog and Google. The post notes that some tech giants—Amazon, Meta and Apple—did not appear among the highest ratings this year, a shift that underscores changing employee sentiment across Big Tech. Anthropic rated highest at 4.8 out of 5, according to Blind’s summary of user reviews.
How Blind Measured It
Blind’s list draws on 35,518 verified employee reviews from U.S.-based users over the past year, limited to companies with at least 10 reviews. Each employer is scored on six factors: overall satisfaction, career growth, work-life balance, compensation and benefits, company culture, and trust in management. Blind analyzed 35,518 verified U.S. reviews, and also shared related insights on 2025 search trends and pay data reported by users. While any user survey reflects the platform’s community, Blind’s methodology emphasizes recency and category-level ratings alongside an overall score.
How It Differs From Glassdoor
Workplace rankings often diverge because their audiences and methodologies differ. In a separate 2026 list based on Glassdoor’s employee reviews, the top U.S. large-company spots went to Crew Carwash, In-N-Out Burger and Nvidia, followed by Ryan, Keller Williams, Mars, ServiceNow, Bain & Company, Houston Methodist and EPAM Systems. Glassdoor’s top three: Crew Carwash, In-N-Out, Nvidia. That contrast—service and industrial employers leading on Glassdoor while Blind’s leaders skew tech and research—highlights how worker experience can vary by sector and by the platform capturing the feedback.
What’s Next
Another closely watched barometer arrives soon: the 2026 Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For list is scheduled to publish on April 1, 2026, according to Great Place to Work, Fortune’s research partner. Together, these rankings offer a multi-lens view of where employees feel heard, supported and set up to grow—and where expectations are shifting as companies navigate AI adoption, return-to-office policies and a still-competitive market for talent.
