Two of the top five companies on Glassdoor's annual "100 Best Places to Work" list released this week are based in the Boston area, including management firm Bain & Company, which topped the list.
The website cited the firm's COVID-19 response plan and increased efforts surrounding equity, diversity and inclusion as part of the reasoning for the top honor.
"COVID-19 is in the driver’s seat and every employer has been impacted," said Christian Sutherland-Wong, Glassdoor chief executive officer. "This year’s winning employers have proven, according to employees, that even during extraordinary times, they’ll rise to the challenge to support their people.”
HubSpot, a software company based in Cambridge, was awarded the No. 4 spot. Boston Consulting Group claimed the No. 12 spot.
In total, 29 companies with a location in Massachusetts made the Top 100. Tech companies such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Salesforce -- which all have offices in Cambridge -- all made the top 15.
