Facebook, Google Drop Out of Top 10 Best Places to Work List

The Silicon Valley companies dropped out of the Top 10 best places to work in the U.S., according to Glassdoors annual rankings released Tuesday.

Amazon Inc., which has never been known for a positive internal culture, failed to make the list for the 12th straight year.

The annual list ranks companies using employee reviews on areas such as compensation, benefits, culture and senior management.

Many of the big tech companies, including Facebook and Google, have been criticized this year for a myriad of issues, and in some cases employees have publicly opposed executive decisions.

At Google, employees have protested against the company on a number of topics, including the companys intimidation tactics against worker organizers. The results of an internal employee poll at the internet search giant, reported by Bloomberg in February, showed that fewer employees were inspired by Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichais vision than a year earlier.

At Facebook, which just like Google provides employees with perks including free meals, corporate transportation and laundry services, workers have pushed back internally against leadership on some policy issues, such as the decision not to fact-check political advertisements.
