Comparably uses anonymous rankings left on the site to come up with rankings like the one above. The latest ranking looks at reviews from employees regarding different leaders at their workplace.
"Comparably's 5th annual Best Leadership Teams is derived from employees who anonymously rated their CEOs, executive leaders, and direct managers on Comparably.com over a 12-month period," Comparably wrote about how they analyze the top teams for this ranking.
Top teams part of the small and midsize employer ranking — employers with no more than 500 employees — included some in technology or software. That includes the team at TheoremOne, which Comparably noted as part of the technology industry, and Copper Mobile, which Comparably says is part of web design.
Insider has previously rounded up reporting on how to become a good manager as well. This includes avoiding biases in the hiring process, ways to get respect when you are starting out as a new leader at the business, and what questions you should ask during employee check ins.
The companies' industries and anonymous worker quotes were shared with Insider from Comparably. The top 25 and the other companies that made the list can be found on Comparably.
