Best Bosses or Corporate Cults? Glassdoor’s Top Workplaces, Unfiltered
In Glassdoor We Trust (Until We Cry in the Office Bathroom)
Forget ping-pong tables and kombucha on tap—Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work 2025 list is out, and Max is calling it: "A corporate Hunger Games where the winner gets... another meeting."
In this episode, Max and Lisa decode the annual gladiator tournament of employer branding, diving into the cultish grip of Bain & Co, the cult-ier grip of Chick-fil-A’s “friendly fascism,” and why NVIDIA is apparently the Google of vibes. Spoiler alert: HubSpot didn’t make the cut in 2025. Did someone finally cancel the company karaoke?
From Servicenow’s ascent to Jesus showing up in the workplace (no, really—Jesus Christ Church Employment Services hit #9), we ask: what the hell does “best” even mean when your boss thinks work-life balance means answering emails with a yoga mat under your desk?
Note: This project explores the new creative potential unlocked by generative AI, showcasing how a single person, in just two hours, can curate (not create, but curate) a polished podcast series. I recognize the critiques around AI-generated content and the potential for digital clutter but invite you to take a listen on your next walk or drive and see what you think.
