Rankings are calculated from published community stories. Development mode can include clearly labeled fictional examples. Largest round uses each company’s largest reported single round, not a sum of overlapping reports. Most stories counts stories, not verified people or separate layoff rounds. Best severance uses the median weeks of severance pay; missing answers are excluded and zero is included. Cash amounts are displayed with their currency and are never compared across currencies. All entries are unverified, and there is no minimum sample size. Ties share a rank. Click a company to read its stories.
