00:00So Glassdoor's out with this annual Best Places to Work list for 2025.

00:06Who are the top five companies on that list?

00:08The top five companies on Glassdoor's Best Places to Work list are

00:12Bain & Company, Crew Car Wash, In-N-Out Burger at number three,

00:16NVIDIA at number four, and then Eli Lilly at number five.

00:19So what are some of the surprises on this list?

00:23Well, I think, you know, for some folks, companies like In-N-Out Burger

00:27might be a little bit more surprising because you hear them and you're like,

00:30well, you know, I've never necessarily thought of them as a best place to work.

00:34But I think the themes there are, especially for companies in industries

00:39like retail or food services, some of these companies really stand out

00:44by treating their workers much better than their peers or competitors, right?

00:48So not only do they pay them well, they offer better benefits,

00:51but they also give people a path to career growth in a way

00:55that is really important right now.

00:57I think a lot of folks feel kind of stuck in their careers right now.

01:00And so one of the themes that we see this year is companies on the list

01:05are the ones that really emphasize career development and career growth.

01:08How much does flexible working environment factor into the companies

01:17that are at the top of the list?

01:20Well, I think flexible work and flexible culture are really important things

01:25for the companies on the list.

01:27Of course, that is different for each company, right?

01:30Because not every company can offer fully remote work for everybody.

01:34There's some companies that need to be in person.

01:36But there are ways that you can offer flexibility.

01:39So hybrid or remote work is the most obvious one.

01:42Flexible working hours can be another.

01:44But I think ultimately flexibility is something that employees talk about a lot.

01:48And really that comes back to trust.

01:50That comes back to employees feeling like their employers trust them

01:54to get their work done.

01:56And they don't necessarily need to rely on these rules or rigid structures

02:01to force them to be in the office or be on the job at certain hours

02:05because their employers trust them.
