In Forbes’ second annual ranking of America’s Best Employers by State, several Fairfax County businesses topped the list.
In the Virginia state ranking, Reston’s Science Applications International Corporation, or SAIC, ranked #55 (12010 Sunset Hills Road).
Peraton, the Herndon based IT company founded in 2017, was ranked #78 (12975 Worldgate Dr.).
Reston’s Leidos, a holding company involved in defense, intelligence, civil and health markets ranked #87 (1750 Presidents St.).
The list was compiled by surveying 80,000 Americans, according to Vicky Valet’s article on Forbes. Surveys were conducted on a rolling basis from October 2019 through May 2020.
Additionally, responses about the same employers were compared to make up for any variation before and after the onset of the coronavirus, according to Valet.
