As we mentioned in a recent post, our members have been asking who the top mechanical engineering companies to work for are, so this post covers some of the top mechanical engineering companies to work for. We should mention that our analysis of the top mechanical engineering companies to work for focused mostly on the larger firms, for two reasons. Firstly, information on these companies and their compensation packages is more readily available, and secondly, many of our members requested information on the larger firms. We do want to make it clear, though, that there are probably a lot of great small mechanical engineering firms out there; we just focused on the larger firms based on specific requests and available information. We did not take applications for these rankings; they are simply based off our discussions with mechanical engineers and information we found on these companies.
