Headquarters: Indianapolis, Indiana
Experienced median pay: $102,000
High job satisfaction: 78% of employees
Most Eli Lilly employees find their jobs fulfilling, and 91% report having high job meaning. Employees at the pharmaceutical company — which creates drugs like Prozac (for depression), Cialis (for erectile dysfunction), and Methadone (for opioid addiction) — also find meaning outside of their day-to-day duties through Lilly’s volunteering opportunities. As a part of Connecting Hearts Abroad, employees can take two weeks of paid leave to work in impoverished countries, providing hands-on support in healthcare, caregiving, and education.

High job satisfaction: 70% of employees
The computer-tech stalwart jumped up five spots on the list from last year. Employees find the company very flexible — more than 40% reported being able to work from home, according to PayScale. And Microsoft moved to ease its work-life balance even more in October 2015 by implementing a parental-leave policy that allows men and women to take up to 12 fully paid weeks off.
