8 NJ Companies Best To Work For In 2019: Fortune

If you're looking to shake up the day-to-day grind, you might have some options close to home. Fortune's annual list of the best companies to work for in 2019 was released this month, and 8 companies that are either headquartered or have offices in New Jersey made it.

The New Jersey list doesn't include at least two companies that have a major presence in the Garden State: Hilton (No. 1) and Wegmans (No. 3). You can see more below.

The Virginia-based Hilton jumped to No. 1 spot after placing No. 33 on the list in 2018. Fortune writes that the company’s ascent is thanks to several employee-focused changes, including more comfortable work wear and upgrading spaces used by employees.

Here are the top companies to work for in New Jersey, according to Fortune.

No. 11: Stryker Corp., Mahwah

No. 36: KPMG LLP, Montvale

No. 62: The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Jersey City

No. 77: Power Home Remodeling, Edison

No. 87: Atlantic Health System, Morristown, Summit and Pompton Plains

No. 89: Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, Plainsboro

No. 90: Novo Nordisk Inc., Plainsboro

No. 98: Mars, Inc., Hackettstown

To be considered for the list, a company has to have at least 1000 employees, according to Fortune. The list is compiled by the analytics firm Great Place to Work, which conducts a workforce survey where employees respond to over 60 questions. According to Fortune, the survey responses account for 85 percent of the analysis. The rest of the analysis is based on factors like people’s ability to contribute new ideas and effectiveness of leaders, Fortune explains. (You can read the full methodology here.)
