Facebook voted world's best employer

Filo: Social network Facebook has been voted the best company in the world to work for.

Google was also placed sixth in the rankings while seven other technology companies featured in the top 20.

Employees may submit anonymous “reviews” of companies to the website which carried out the survey, Glassdoor. It uses these responses to compile its well-respected annual Employees’ Choice Awards.

Facebook employed 4,619 people by December last year, and opened an engineering department at its existing office in Covent Garden, central London, in October. The company came third in the 2012 rankings.

One contributor wrote of Facebook on Glassdoor: “The atmosphere is amazing. Everyone pulling together to help the company achieve goals we all believe in, while being incredibly open, down-to-earth and helpful about it.”
