The final score is based on two types of evaluations: personal (those given by employees themselves, also known as direct evaluations) and public (those given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry – also known as indirect evaluations).

Additional data was gathered via publicly available company information and was analyzed using a scoring model. More than two million employer evaluations were considered.
