Think you know this order?
Five of the top 100, shuffled — put them back in order, highest first. 10 boards, and you can leave whenever you like.
Practice run — it doesn’t move your skill rating and doesn’t touch the leaderboards. Misplaced companies do go into your review queue.
How employee counts are measured
This leaderboard ranks companies by the employee count disclosed in their most recent annual report — the 10-K for U.S. filers, or the 20-F / 40-F for foreign issuers. The figure counts full-time equivalent employees as of the fiscal year-end, so it is a point-in-time snapshot of workforce size, not a flow accumulated over the year, and it refreshes once a year when the annual filing lands.
Coverage is limited to companies whose annual filings report a headcount, so some issuers are absent. To compare corporate size by money rather than people, see the revenue ranking; to chart one company's hiring trend and revenue generated per employee, open its per-company employee count.
