Forbes conducted the anonymous surveys between March and June of this year, and responses for the same employers were compared to its previous best employers ranking to see if there were significant variations before and after the coronavirus pandemic.

According to Forbes, the respondents were asked to rate their organizations on criteria such as working conditions, salary and how likely they’d be to recommend their employer to others. The final list ranks the 250 employers that earned the most recommendations.

Forbes also listed USAA at No. 11 in its best employers in Texas 2020 ranking in August and at No. 98 on its “Best Employers for Women 2020” ranking in July.

Additionally, USAA was named as the best company in the nation with the best customer experience by KPMG, a global network of professional firms in July.
