However, this time Glassdoor list has come out with many shocks and surprises. Take a look at the top 10

Google drops to 11th & Facebook to 23rd!on Glassdoor ranking

Earlier, Google was known to rank among the top 10 for a record 8 years. However, this time, with survey results not favouring the leadership and many employee allegations regarding internal policies, Google has managed to exit the top 10 list and settled at the 11th spot. Next surprise comes in the form of Facebook’s ranking. The once top-rated company of the Silicon Valley has now slipped to rank 23. This comes due to employee disagreement and policy issues.

Last but not least, the top rank is occupied by HubSpot Inc, which is a software company gaining fame these days for quality work.
