LinkedIn Top Companies List Alphabet and Amazon Top Ranks Job seekers are most interested in working at Google’s parent company Alphabet over other U.S companies, according to LinkedIn’s Top Companies list for 2017.

The network said job seekers are also interested in Amazon because of its reputation for innovation. In third place came Facebook, which drew interest because it gives “employees the power to experiment at levels never before imagined,” according to LinkedIn.
