Results of Early Findings (1 Hour of Research)

• Additional research is needed to continue compiling data for CBInsights.
• The analysis has been conducted of data on LinkedIn only, as this has been determined to be the most comprehensive source of information for this specific topic for these companies. For example, Glassdoor has very little information about The Information so it could not be relied upon for such an analysis.
• It's possible to conduct this same analysis for other companies similar to CBInsights and The Information to help obtain additional benchmarking data.
