The term “corporate culture” once brought to mind strict dress codes and cut-throat coworker competition, but  company culture is rapidly emerging as essential to building a brand, attracting customers, and winning the burgeoning war for talent.
Recognizing the growing role of company culture in attracting and retaining talent, company review and salary comparison site Glassdoor compiled this list of the Top 25 Companies For Culture And Values.

​The companies that fared the best in this evaluation are those with a clear mission statement and stated values that are congruent internally and externally. Employees frequently take note of how the company deals with users, clients, and external constituents, as well as how they behave “within the walls” of the company.

While the list is studded with familiar tech names like Google, Riverbed, and Citrix, a broad array of companies are represented, including grocers Wegmans and H-E-B, retailers Nike and REI, Southwest Airlines, and the Walt Disney Company.

The appeal of a positive company culture is so strong it’s become a kind of de facto compensation. Companies that once used hefty salary packages to attract the best and brightest no longer have the same resources as they may have pre-recession, so non-cash benefits like flexibility and clear company values have become a way to attract candidates.
