It might not have seemed like such a great year for Google, but Google's employees still like it.

The tech giant topped the list of the 50 best companies to work for in 2017, according to the jobs site Comparably. Employees anonymously rated their companies between January and November of this year.

Google was followed by Facebook, Salesforce, LinkedIn, Netflix, and Amazon.

Comparably also looked at the best companies for women and the best companies for diversity for this year. Most of the big names are still on the lists, but these lists aren't ranked so it's harder to tell exactly where they fall. An earlier ranking from Comparably didn't put Google in the top 10 companies for women, and Google came in sixth in a ranking of best companies for racial diversity.
