Software and technology firms Adobe, Google and Nvidia have been named as some of the employers with the best compensation packages for employees in the US in 2025.
The list is compiled by workplace culture and corporate brand reputation platform Comparably. It received anonymous ratings from employees about their organisations during a 12-month period, from 10 November 2024 until 10 November 2025, on topics that contribute to overall happiness at work and satisfaction with compensation packages.
The questions covered salary and whether employees feel they are paid fairly, pay increases, bonuses, stock and equity if applicable, and benefits.
Out of 4,309 Adobe staff reviews, 96% were positive, and working at Adobe is rated highly by 1,199 employees.
An Adobe employee said: “The best parts of the compensation package are the wellness benefits and donation matching. Adobe cares about our health and wellbeing enough to support our wellness hobbies and volunteering.”
Meanwhile, out of 2,499 Google staff reviews, 86% were positive, and working at Google is rated highly by 7,040 employees.
A Google employee added: “Overall, Google’s compensation package is designed to attract and retain top talent, and its commitment to employee wellbeing and professional development makes it an attractive employer for many people.”
The top five large organisations are:
- Adobe
- Nvidia
- Elastic
- Paycom
The top five small and medium sized organisations are:
- Aura
- Elementum
- Hometap
- Crystal Equation
- Contus Tech
A Comparably spokesperson said: “To qualify, large employers with 500 and above employees must have met a minimum of 75 employee participants, and small and mid-size employers with less than 500 employees needed a minimum of 25 participants. For fairness and statistical significance, additional weight was given to organisations with more employee participation. The final data set was compiled from 15 million ratings across 70,000 US employers.”
