How a best place to work works

Award-winning workplace, recognised by a work-life / best-place-to-work award

  • A standard 5-day week, but recognised by a credible work-life / best-place-to-work award
  • Verified on the awarding body’s official list (Great Place to Work, Glassdoor, Built In, and others)
  • Always paired with at least one flexibility or work-life benefit (remote, flexible PTO, etc.)
  • For people who want a proven culture, not just a formally shorter week
Best for: people who prize a proven, award-winning culture and flexibility over a formally shorter week.

How we rank these companies

These companies are ordered by their work-life score — a 0–100 rating we calculate from each employer’s published policies, averaging 58 across the 165 companies on this page.

  • Contracted hours carry the most weight — the fewer hours a full-time week actually is, the higher the score. A 40-hour week earns nothing here.
  • Remote and schedule flexibility comes next: whether the role is genuinely remote, how much say you have over your hours, and whether core hours are fixed.
  • Paid leave is scored above a 15-day baseline, so a statutory minimum adds nothing and a genuinely generous allowance does.
  • The schedule itself can add or subtract. A genuine reduced-day week scores positively; a full-week perk such as unlimited PTO scores negatively, because it is not a reduction in hours.

Every company starts from the same baseline and is scored on the policies recorded in its profile, so a company that publishes more detail is scored more precisely. The same score appears on that company’s own page. Read the full scoring rubric →

We list 165 companies offering best place to work. Best Place To Work is a policy that sits on top of a standard full-time week. Prominent employers include Accso, Acquia, and Acturis. Browse the list above for company profiles and current open positions.
The specifics vary by company — how much leave, which days, or how flexibility is granted under a best place to work policy. Each company profile shows the exact version they operate.
Technology, consulting, and professional services dominate adoption of the best place to work pattern. Engineering-heavy and knowledge-work roles are the most common, though an increasing number of design, marketing, and product-focused organisations appear in the listings. Click through to individual company pages for industry-specific context on how the schedule operates in practice.
Individual company profiles detail the exact PTO policy. Some employers combine the schedule with unlimited or generous PTO policies; others stick to standard allowances. Leave is separate from the schedule itself.
A best place to work policy describes how the week is organised rather than how many hours it holds, so it is not a pay question in itself; each company profile states the employer's schedule and benefits.
