If you believe that working at a small company means a small salary, think again.
This list of best-paying small companies from job-hunting site Comparably shows that good salaries can be had at smaller companies with less than 500 employees. Comparably dug through its database of over 3 million employee ratings on 30,000 US companies to come up with this list of the best-paying small companies, based on self-reported salaries.
It then went another step and factored in how employees said they felt about their compensation: if they feel were satisfied with the pay for the job title and work expectations. All of the companies on this list had a minimum of 10employee reviews that rated their employers' on at least 100 factors.
All of these companies also rank in the top 15% or greater in compensation sentiment.
