Amazon likes to open warehouses where they are the only bigger emplyer in the area, so that it's not so easy for people to switch jobs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopsony https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopsony

I'm sure there's no way to game or no bias in Linkedin's "top companies" list... Wells Fargo at number 2? Come on.

  Seriously. I once worked for a company where Marketing and HR had a cross-functional team of three people working full-time to game such surveys, counter/contest bad reviews from former employees, writing fake positive reviews, etc.

On Wednesday, the networking platform released its annual Top Companies list identifying the 50 best places in the U.S. for professionals to grow their careers. Amazon ranked No. 1 on the list, followed by Alphabet (Google’s parent company) and Wells Fargo. From the LinkedIn article: LinkedIn Top Companies is a ranking of the 50 companies that are investing in their talent and helping people build careers that will set them up for long-term success. Our 2022 LinkedIn Top Companies list is the 6th annual ranking of the 50 best workplaces to grow your career, all based on unique LinkedIn data. These are the companies that are offering stability in our ever-changing world of work — the ones that are not only attracting workers, but retaining them. And this survey has nothing to do with quality of environment. This list, and the accompanying article, are completely meaningless.

Every employer tries to game those surveys, I have little faith in them. But there is also a huge difference between "best employer to grow your career" and "best employer to work for". Simply having the Amazon name on your resume is great for your career, but your career will probably be outside of Amazon.

I always assumed those lists (& others) were like Christmas cards from media organizations to the advertisers who keep the lights on.

You don't have to work there no. But employees should always feel free to unionise if they want to. No matter how well reviewed the workplace is.

Amazon has H1B visa workers who pretty much do have to work for them.
