If you’re looking for a new job, here’s a good place to start.<\/p>\n

Career website Glassdoor Inc. has released its annual report<\/a> on the best places to work based on employees who elected to anonymously submit a company review on its website\u00a0over a 12-month time frame.\u00a0This year’s winner, Bain & Company Inc., has been in the top five since the list’s inception in 2009 and has been No. 1 three times. Employees\u00a0cite a great salary, benefits, mentorship, and a culture that promotes employee engagement, according to Scott Dobroski, Glassdoor community expert.<\/p>\n

While a company\u00a0has yet to take the top spot two years in a row, past winners don’t tend to fall precipitously. Airbnb Inc., however, bucked the trend this year, falling to No. 35 after taking the top spot<\/a> in its Glassdoor debut in 2015.<\/p>\n

“Airbnb has definitely dropped amongst the most ever,” said Dobroski. Some of the factors that played into the fall have to do with the typical growing pains of a startup. “Airbnb\u00a0continues to grow, and employees say it’s now harder to find work-life balance, opportunities\u00a0for advancement, and transparency from the top,”\u00a0Dobroski added. The company still receives high ratings from employees, so Dobroski isn’t particularly worried. “These are common themes among emerging, private companies that are doing well globally.”<\/p>\n

Airbnb spokeswoman Brittany Cornejo\u00a0said that the firm “strives to create a work environment where all of our employees feel welcome, appreciated, and inspired by the work they’re doing every day.”<\/p>\n

The competition this year was particularly fierce:\u00a0All 50 companies\u00a0on the list are within a 0.5 range on a scale of 0 to 5. In order to qualify for consideration, at least 75 employees of a company must submit reviews. The average score for a company this year was 3.3.<\/p>\n
