We invited companies across the country to participate in our rigorous, nearly 90-question survey. Not every company that responded to the survey made the cut. Rankings were developed based on the answers that companies provided to questions about their recruiting of people connected to the military; company policies related to veterans, reservists and their families; and the organization's culture. Not everything listed in the chart was considered in ranking companies, and many items not listed were considered.
