The basics:

• 29 New Jersey companies named to USA Today Top Workplaces 2026
• 8 Garden State firms earn ranked positions
• CoreWeave ranks highest among New Jersey companies
• Rankings based on employee surveys of workplace satisfaction

For the sixth year in a row, USA Today has ranked the top workplaces in the nation. 

Released April 9, the lists recognize organizations with at least 150 workers that exceed the “national benchmarks for employee satisfaction.” 

USA Today collaborated with Philadelphia-based research firm Energage to survey employees from 2,375 organizations to determine the findings. Workers were asked to rate their companies based on factors such as pay, leadership, meaningfulness and more. 

A total of 1,661 organizations were named to the 2026 lists. The top 100 companies in each size group earned a ranking; the others appeared listed alphabetically.
