Where the reports come from
An applicant account is one hiring outcome (heard back, interviewed, rejected, hired, or never heard back) reported by the applicant: either submitted to Seen, or a first-hand account found in a public post such as a Reddit thread or a review site. Of the 3,325 applicant accounts behind this table, 3,306 were found in public posts; those count at reduced weight. Online mentions (646 here) count half a report each. Estimates from web research are never counted as reports.
Percentages appear only for companies with at least 5 applicant accounts (396 of the 412); the others show a grade only. Reports are self-reported claims, not verified facts. How grades are built: methods. Rankings built from this table: monthly lists.
