"We had to do a double-double take at Glassdoor's new Best Places to Work 2026 list, as they ranked fast-food chain In-N-Out as a better place to work than the cushy, high-paid confines of Nvidia, Facebook, and Google. If you had your choice between job offers from the Silicon Valley tech giants Nvidia, Google, and Facebook, with their massively lucrative stocks and lavish perks and salaries, or a job offer flipping burgers at a local In-N-Out, which offer would you take?"
"According to the just-released Best Places to Work 2026 list from the employer review site Glassdoor, you would want to take that job flipping burgers at In-N-Out. Yes, KTVU reports that Glassdoor's new list of the best places to work in California ranks In-N-Out ahead of Nvidia, Apple, Facebook, and Google. And these are not corporate jobs at In-N-Out's headquarters in Irvine, California, we're talking crew jobs at In-N-Out, many of which are largely occupied by high school students."
Glassdoor's Best Places to Work 2026 lists employers across the United States, placing Crew Car Wash at number one and In-N-Out at number two nationally. In-N-Out ranks ahead of major Silicon Valley companies including Nvidia, Apple, Facebook, and Google, with crew-level restaurant positions—often filled by high school students—scoring highly. Glassdoor's rankings reflect worker preferences favoring stability, clear upward mobility, and lower AI-driven anxiety compared with perceived instability and layoffs in the tech sector. The list covers non-corporate crew roles as well as corporate employers, highlighting a shift in worker sentiment toward service-industry opportunities.
