Top 25 Highest Paying Companies in the U.S.

There are many factors that contribute to job satisfaction, such as career opportunities, learning and development programs, trust in and respect for senior leadership, and company culture and values, to list just a few. And although many studies have shown that salary is not a leading factor in employee satisfaction once in a job, it is still one of the main factors under consideration when accepting a new job.

That’s why SSON has launched a new crowdsourced salary benchmarking tool, the SSON Salary Index, specifically for shared services professionals. Simply answer a few questions about your job and location and we’ll provide with you with a personalised report to show you how you stack up against your peers in the same field and location.    

 

To mark the launch of the SSON Salary Index, we thought we’d take a look at some interesting data from Glassdoor, on the top paying companies in the U.S. in 2016. 

It’s interesting to note that all of these companies either operate within a shared service model or provide shared services and outsourcing consulting services!
