The 50 best product/design and engineering teams to work for

A few repeat names surfaced in Comparably's annual ranking of engineering teams and product/design teams, including the cloud-based communications provider RingCentral, which hit the top 10 in both, according to two reports released Thursday.

Employees across the U.S. anonymously rated their departments on Comparably.com between March 2020 and March 2021. Winners were determined based on employee feedback to a combination of workplace culture questions in nearly 20 categories, including compensation, leadership and co-workers to professional development opportunities, work-life balance and perks and benefits.

Several other companies appeared in both lists: Adobe, Chegg, Dynatrace, Google and Trimble among them.
