Leading job website Indeed has publishes its annual ranking based on thousands of company reviews with luxury hospitality firm Fairmont Hotels & Resorts topping the list as a newcomer to the rankings. Construction firm Ledcor takes second place.

"The 25 organizations on our list are considered among the best places to work and have worked hard to listen to the specific needs of their employees to provide an outstanding experience through strategic and thoughtful workplace programs," said Jodi Kasten, managing director at Indeed Canada.

Financial services firms have a strong showing in the list with American Express, Sunlife, Citi, Desjardins, and Sun Life Financial all in the top 25.
