Top Companies 2021: Boston
Today we’re introducing Top Companies: City Edition , a look at the best workplaces to grow your career in 10 emerging cities throughout the U.S. Similar to our annual Top Companies list (which is a country-wide ranking), the city edition is meant to provide a go-to resource for professionals at every stage of their career journeys — just at a more local level.
Below you’ll find this year’s 25 Top Companies in the greater Boston area. Health care dominates the list, with several local hospitals appearing, including Massachusetts General Hospital (No. 2), Brigham and Women’s Hospital (No. 6) and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (No. 11). There are also big tech players (Amazon and Oracle) as well as banking (Citizens and Santander Bank) and retail (The TJX Companies).?
To compile the list, we looked at unique LinkedIn data specifically in the Boston metropolitan area. We measured seven pillars that have been shown to lead to career progression: ability to advance, skills growth, company stability, external opportunity, company affinity, gender diversity and educational background. Companies must have at least 50 employees in the city to be eligible. You can see our full methodology at the bottom of this article.?
Read on to learn more about how these companies are investing in their employees, explore open jobs and see people you may know. We’ve also pulled the most common skills and job titles among each company’s Boston-based employees — and linked relevant LinkedIn Learning courses for those skills. If you see a company that feels like a good fit for you, you can follow the company page and turn on job alerts to ensure you don’t miss out on future opportunities.?

Methodology
Our methodology uses LinkedIn data to rank companies based on seven pillars that have been shown to lead to career progression: ability to advance; skills growth; company stability; external opportunity; company affinity; gender diversity and educational background. Ability to advance tracks employee promotions within a company and when they move to a new company, based on standardized job titles. Skills growth looks at how employees across the company are gaining skills while employed at the company, using standardized LinkedIn skills. Company stability tracks attrition over the past year, as well as the percentage of employees that stay at the company at least three years. External opportunity looks at Recruiter outreach across employees at the company, signaling demand for workers coming from these companies. Company affinity, which seeks to measure how supportive a company’s culture is, looks at connection volume on LinkedIn among employees, controlled for company size. Gender diversity measures gender parity within a company. Finally, educational background examines the variety of educational attainment among employees, from no degree up to Ph.D. levels, reflecting a commitment to recruiting a wide range of professionals.?
To be eligible, companies must have at least 50 employees as of April 30, 2021 in the city and reductions in staff (including attrition and layoffs) can be no higher than 10% (based on LinkedIn data and public announcements, respectively). While our annual Top Companies list includes only parent companies (data on majority-owned subsidiaries are incorporated into the parent company score), the city lists separate out subsidiaries from their parent companies. All data counts are normalized based on company size across the pool of companies eligible for the list. The methodology time frame is May 1, 2020 through April 30, 2021. All of the data used is aggregated and/or de-identified.
We exclude all staffing and recruiting firms, educational institutions and government agencies. We also exclude LinkedIn, its parent company Microsoft and Microsoft subsidiaries.
