Amazon has topped LinkedIn's annual Top Companies list in the US for the second year in a row. The list identifies the 50 best places for professionals to work and grow careers using data from LinkedIn's 810 million members.

Commenting on this achievement, Beth Galetti, Amazon's senior vice president of People eXperience and Technology, said, "Thank you to all of our employees for continuing to make Amazon a top place to work. We’re proud to have been named No. 1 by LinkedIn and know there’s even more to do. That’s why we keep listening, investing, and inventing to make the employee experience even better."

Amazon was recognized based on its ability to attract and retain talent, including how it provides career advancement opportunities for employees of all backgrounds and even how much recruiters from other companies search for employees currently working at the company.
