Work is still challenging for women - but some companies are more female-friendly than others.

InHerSight, a job-listing hub that rates a company's "female-friendliness," released a ranking of the top 25 companies for women. The list comes from taking top spots in 16 categories, among them:

  • Equal opportunities for women and men in the form of fair promotions and comparable salaries
  • Strength of maternity and adoptive leave policies
  • Female representation in company leadership

The database has over 100,000 companies total, and millions of women who use the site, according to company data analyst Emily McCrary-Ruiz-Esparza.

The ranking is based on data provided by InHerSight from October 2019. However, McCrary-Ruiz-Esparza said these numbers are always shifting because employees submit their ratings for companies on a rolling basis.

Here are the top 25 companies for working women, with 5 stars being the highest rating:
