Methodology
In February, Symplicity invited employers to participate in a survey that collected specific information regarding opportunities for new hires, training programs, benefits and other areas most attractive to new grads. The survey gathered employer answers on some of the best reasons to work for their companies, including company culture, perks, annual bonuses and more. Employers were asked specific questions pertaining to benefits, training, culture, values and work-life balance. The 2015 awards honor companies who ranked highest in overall score in five different categories: opportunity, culture, benefits, balance and Glassdoor rating.
