Nominations for the 2027 Best Places to Work in IT program will open soon! We’ll be posting the link to our nomination form here shortly.

See our Best Places to Work in IT 2026 special report for the complete list of honorees, major trends from the most recent survey, and much more.

About the Best Places to Work in IT program

Computerworld conducts an annual survey to identify the best places to work for IT professionals. We invite readers, PR professionals and other interested parties to nominate companies they consider great employers for IT workers. You may nominate your own company. We then ask those nominated companies that meet our basic criteria to participate in our survey.

Once again, we are excited to extend this program, which has a 33-year history in the United States, to companies worldwide.

The employers in the Best Places list are evaluated by company size: Large companies have 5,000 or more employees; midsize have between 1,001 and 4,999 employees; and small companies employ from 100 to 1,000.

To be eligible, companies must have a minimum of 5 IT employees and a minimum of 100 total employees. We consider IT employees to be those IT workers who provide technology support and services to their own company — or to multiple companies through their work at an IT service provider. Workers who would *not* be included are administrative support staff for the IT department, staff who work in communications or PR for the technology department, IT contractors, or those staff whose primary role is in product development for outside sales.

Best Places to Work in IT is a global program. We ask that companies submit no more than one survey within any one country. If your company operates in multiple countries and you would like to submit a survey for your location only, please note this in the company name field (e.g., “Foundry North America” or “Foundry Germany”). If no location is specified in the company name, we will assume that the entry represents all locations worldwide.

In most cases, we prefer to have the parent company, rather than subsidiaries or affiliates, apply for the Best Places to Work in IT list. However, a subsidiary or affiliate may be eligible, providing that it stands out as a separate entity from the parent company, with separate business functions, IT leadership and so on. A subsidiary may also be eligible to apply separately if its parent company is a holding company. In those cases, the parent company and subsidiary may be able to apply separately. We encourage companies to complete the nomination form or contact us at [email protected], and our Best Places research team will evaluate the submissions on a case-by-case basis.

Frequently asked questions Survey requirements and eligibility Does my company have to be nominated to complete the survey?

No. Companies may participate even if they were not nominated. In lieu of a nomination, please send an email to [email protected] with the name and contact information (including email address) of the individual who should receive the company survey and other information; we’ll take care of the rest.

Does the Best Places to Work in IT list include public companies only?

No. The survey includes private as well as public companies.

What criteria must my company meet to participate?

To be considered for our Best Places to Work in IT list:

• Companies must have a minimum of 5 IT employees.
• Companies must have a minimum of 100 total employees worldwide.
• In most cases, we prefer to have the parent company, rather than subsidiaries or affiliates, apply for the Best Places to Work in IT list. However, a subsidiary or affiliate may be eligible, providing that it stands out as a separate entity from the parent company, with separate business functions, IT leadership and so on. A subsidiary may also be eligible to apply separately if its parent company is a holding company. In those cases, the parent company and subsidiary may be able to apply separately. We encourage companies to complete the nomination form or contact us at [email protected], and our Best Places research team will evaluate the submissions on a case-by-case basis.

Who should complete the survey?

An individual familiar with employment statistics, benefits, policies and programs of your IT department and your company should complete the survey. This could be a human resources representative, a CIO or corporate PR representative — or a team of all the above.

Survey contents and procedures What does the company survey ask?

Our online survey includes questions about companies’ benefits, training and development, IT salary changes, percent of IT employees promoted, IT turnover rates, and the percentage of women employees in management in IT departments. In addition, we will collect information about company culture, workplace modernization, and company growth.

Which employees are considered “IT workers” in this survey?

Answers to the survey should be based on those IT workers who provide technology support and services to their own company — or to multiple companies through their work at an IT service provider. Workers who wouldn’t be included are administrative support staff for the IT department, staff who work in communications or PR for the technology department, IT contractors, or those staff whose primary role is in product development for outside sales.

What happens if I leave a question blank on the survey?

You can’t leave a question blank if it is required. Many of the questions on the survey are required; the survey can’t be processed if they aren’t answered. Please answer to the best of your ability for questions with lists or options included. If any open-ended/text based questions aren’t applicable to your company, please indicate “NA” for “not applicable.” If there is a question you can’t answer fully given the format of the survey, you may briefly explain your answers in an addendum field that follows each survey section.

Companies that withhold information used to rank the finalists will have points deducted from their ranking. Answers that are left blank or have unexplained N/As will be assumed to be 0 (zero).

What information will be shared publicly?

Computerworld tries to avoid printing information that a company may consider competitive. The following information may appear publicly:

• Company name
• Location
• Industry
• Website
• Total number of employees

 All other information will be used only in aggregate format or for ranking purposes, unless a featured organization explicitly grants permission.

Can I save my survey and come back to it at a later date?

Yes. You will be able to save your partially completed survey and can save a partially completed survey as many times as necessary. Please save your unique URL to re-enter the survey. When you return to the survey, you will be able to review/modify questions that you have already answered. However, we will continue to provide a printer-friendly version of the survey, and we recommend that you complete this survey, then enter your answers online.

How should I send my company’s information to Computerworld?

We accept company information from the online survey only. Please enter all data as accurately as possible. Provide company name, location, web address and other information, as you would like it to appear in print.

Can I get a copy of the survey to review before I go to the online survey and submit my company’s information?

Yes. A printer-friendly version of the 2027 Best Places company survey can be downloaded for reference. We encourage participants to complete the printer-friendly version offline before filling out the online survey.

Best Places to Work in IT 2027 Company SurveyDownload Will Computerworld provide us with a copy of our submitted survey?

Upon request, Computerworld will email you a PDF of your company’s survey responses.

Is there an employee portion to the survey?

There is no longer an employee survey portion to the survey. Computerworld decided to make this change in the 2023 program to streamline the process for global participation and to enable companies with smaller IT departments to participate. In lieu of the employee survey portion of the program, Computerworld will be inviting a panel of judges consisting of industry experts to evaluate entries and confirm this year’s honorees.

List publication and notification When will the list of honorees be published?

The Best Places to Work in IT honorees will be announced in December 2026 on Computerworld.com.

When can I find out if my company is on the list?

Computerworld will notify companies that will be honored as a 2027 Best Place to Work in IT several weeks in advance of publication. Computerworld will provide honorees with an online press kit including a sample press release and other promotional information.

Through LinkedIn’s more than one billion business users, the Microsoft unit has access to a vast array of personally-identifiable information, including data that could identify religious and political positions. What is less clear is what LinkedIn does with all of that data.

A small European company that sells a browser extension to leverage different aspects of LinkedIn data is running a campaign, which it calls BrowserGate, that accuses LinkedIn of “illegally searching your computer” and “running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history.” 

“Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm,” the company claimed.

“The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it,” the BrowserGate site said. “Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching for anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies.”

LinkedIn denies some of those accusations, and avoids addressing the remainder. 

“This [accusation] is a house of cards built entirely upon a fabrication,” said an emailed LinkedIn statement . “We do disclose that we scan for browser extensions in our privacy policy, in order to detect abuse and provide defense for site stability.” 

When asked whether it uses that data solely to do those things, LinkedIn did not reply.

Possible misuse

The key person behind the allegations calls himself Steven Morrell (not his legal name, which he asked not be published). The company he represents also has different names, including Teamfluence and Fairlinked. 

Morrell said that LinkedIn is gathering data that includes sensitive details, including information that he argued could be used to determine religious and political leanings. Gathering such data, Morrell said, could violate European privacy rules.

But Morrell is not saying that LinkedIn is in fact using the data to determine those preferences, but merely that they could. Much the same could be said for almost all large companies.

Morell isn’t exactly unbiased, however. He and LinkedIn are also involved in a legal dispute in Germany, in which Morrell said that LinkedIn violated EU rules and that it improperly kicked him, and others, off the service.

LinkedIn countered that Morell and the other plaintiffs had violated its terms of service with their plugins. Last month, a judge in Munich sided with LinkedIn, dismissing the motion for a preliminary injunction.

Might cause compliance issues

Safayat Moahamad, research director at Info-Tech Research Group, said that compliance approaches throughout the European Union and the UK could indeed have some issues with this deep a level of data collection. 

“European courts are likely to support platforms that restrict automated data harvesting, when they can plausibly link organization-level policy enforcement actions to consumer protection and regulatory compliance,” Moahamad said.

Advice for CIOs

Cybersecurity consultant Brian Levine, executive director of FormerGov, said enterprise CIOs should use these allegations, even if they prove to be untrue, to help them tweak their data strategy and privacy policies for 2026.

“Assuming the BrowserGate allegations are true, LinkedIn users should consider reducing the amount of identifiable, trackable, or sensitive data their browser exposes, and organizations should treat LinkedIn as a potentially hostile web environment until facts are verified,” Levine said. “Even if BrowserGate is exaggerated, browser fingerprinting is a real, widespread practice across the web. Treat LinkedIn like any other third-party data collector. LinkedIn has historically been treated as safe, [but] that assumption may need to be revisited.”

Levine said IT executives should “assume that LinkedIn can map your tech stack” and that, if the claims are accurate, LinkedIn could infer “which SaaS tools your employees use, which competitors you rely on, which job search tools your staff is using and which political/religious extensions appear inside your workforce.”

He added that IT should consider blocking LinkedIn on sensitive networks, or require it to only be accessed through VDI, as well as employing browser isolation techniques. Some companies might even want to use a separate isolated browser solely for LinkedIn, or, he said, “use a sandboxed browser session, such as Browserling or other cloud-isolated browsers.”
