Forbes ranks 18 Massachusetts companies among America’s best large employers

Forbes has ranked 18 Massachusetts-based companies among the best large employers in the United States.

The publication recently released its list of “America’s Best Large Employers for 2024″ following a survey of employees at companies with more than 5,000 workers.

“Survey respondents were asked to rate their employer, and if they would recommend their employer to others,” Forbes wrote in its report. “Responses were given by current employees, employees who had worked for the company within the past two years, and individuals familiar with the company through friends, family, or peers in their industry.”

Nova Nordisk in New Jersey was named the top large employer to work for in the country. The company employs 55,000 people. Fidelity Investments, 14th on the list, was the top ranked large employer in Massachusetts.
