SEL Recognized as a Dream Employer
December 10, 2024 | SELEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) has been named one of America's Dream Employers by Forbes. The American media and publishing company released its inaugural list ranking U.S. companies based on growth opportunities, quality of work, compensation, and company reputation.
SEL ranks 208th out of 500 companies on the list and holds the number 3 spot in the “Engineering, Manufacturing” category.
“Dream jobs don’t have to be relegated to the fantasies of little kids who want to grow up to be superheroes. There are positions at organizations throughout the United States that are coveted—and for good reason. Dream employers offer employees the chance to do inspiring work, to pursue their passions through engaging career development programs, and to collaborate with whip-smart colleagues within a culture of camaraderie, among other things,” according to the Forbes article announcing the ranking.
Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey more than 10,000 college students in the U.S. and more than 140,000 U.S.-based employees at companies with at least 1,000 employees.
Students were asked about which companies they consider dream employers, how excited they would be to receive a job offer from those companies, and more. Employees were asked about their dream employers, their current employer, and questions related to salary, growth opportunities, professional development, and more.
