The world's number one job site Indeed released its first-ever list of the 25 best places to work in Canada Tuesday.

The list was largely dominated by financial institutions, airlines and health-care providers.

The list was constructed based on employee reviews of over 600,000 members on Indeed’s website which scored based on five categories:

• Pay and benefits
• Work-life balance
• Workplace advancement
• Opportunities within the company
• Management and culture

In order to make the top 25 list, the company had to have had at least 50 employee reviews.

The top 5

• RBC: Many of the reviews tell of a fast-paced environment. Many reviews also described the environment and people as “friendly.”
• Toronto Transit Commission (TTC): Its Rewards and Recognition program, which helps employees grow within the company, was a hit among reviewers. Reviews also say management “takes care of its employees” and gives plenty of opportunity to raise a family and retire comfortably.
• TELUS Communications: TELUS received high marks for its work-life balance and company culture among reviewers, as well as its perks.
• General Motors: GM scored the highest among the top five employers for salary and benefits.
• The Hospital for Sick Children: Employees commend the hospital for providing a great work-life balance and workplace culture. The work environment has also been described as “collaborative and supportive.”
