Making the list
In the annual listing from Forbes magazine, “America’s Best Large Employers” are ranked based on an independent survey from a sample of more than 45,000 U.S. employees working for companies with at least 5,000 people. Employees are given the opportunity to openly share anonymous feedback on a series of topics, including potential for development, willingness to recommend their employer to friends and family, and company image. Michelin is consistently included in this list and was ranked as the No. 1 Best Large Employer in 2018.
