Best for Vets: Employers 2016

​​​TEXAS, U.S. - Military Times​ invited companies across the U.S. to take part in their rigorous, nearly more-than-90-question survey.

"What I always tell veterans is: Don’t go for the job that you fit; go for the job that you want," said Michael Donoghue, a partner at PwC, a professional services firm formerly known as PricewaterhouseCoopers, which landed the fourth spot in our rankings this year.

Verizon, Union Pacific Railroad, USAA, PwC and BAE Systems round out the top five companies on our Best for Vets: Employers 2016 rankings. 

If you do want to stick with your military job as a civilian, one of the best places to look may be a defense contractor, such as BAE Systems.​

Rankings were developed based on the answers that companies provided to questions about their recruiting of people connected to the military; company policies related to veterans, reservists and their families; and the organization’s culture.
