About this ranking
This is the first measurement of this ranking, so there is no earlier order to compare it with yet.
What separates the top five from the rest is interviews and career growth: AI recommends the leaders for these far more often than the employers below them. The gap is smallest on work-life balance, where the rest of the list keeps closer to the leaders.
Across the 23 countries the index covers for media and entertainment, the leader here has the 15th highest score. Elsewhere the lead changes hands: in Norway, AI recommends NRK first.
More than half of the 36 employers score 5.1 or less, while a place in the top ten takes a score of 23.1. The leader's 74.4 shows how far ahead the most recommended employers sit.
Most lists of the best media and entertainment companies to work for come from employee surveys or awards. This one tracks what AI tells job seekers, because many candidates now ask AI where to work before they open a careers page.
