Shake-up in tech company rankings: monday.com plunged, who reached first place?
The 2026 Dun & Bradstreet report points to a dramatic shift in employee sentiment across the sector: The search for stability and transparency is replacing perks and flashy promises.
The Dun & Bradstreet 2026 ranking of the best tech companies to work for has seen significant changes. Israeli software giant monday.com dropped 32 spots, falling from 3rd place to 35th. This is a stark contrast to last year when it was the top-ranked company. Other major players including Taboola and Natural Intelligence also saw their positions slip, dropping from 17th and 18th to 30th and 32nd respectively.
The ranking methodology included surveys on work experience, management quality, diversity, and work-life balance, as well as an examination of AI adoption. The data suggests that employees are prioritizing job security and managerial transparency over flashy perks. In fact, 88% of surveyed employees reported that their company's layoffs were handled transparently and fairly, up from 77% the previous year.
Despite this, burnout remains an issue, with satisfaction with entry opportunities for junior employees dropping to 73% from 85% in 2023. Employees at AI startups were more likely to feel their salary was competitive - 56% of employees at traditional companies shared this view. NVIDIA led the ranking, followed by cybersecurity firm Island and Microsoft Israel R&D Center. This marks the first time Microsoft Israel has appeared in the top three.
