Finance is a broad industry that can cover everything from, investment banks, insurance providers, and even mortgage companies. How do you know which of these companies is the best to work for? A recent list was created by Business Insider detailing the best financial companies to work for in America. This list was based on the employees and included categories such as great benefits, a big paycheck, high job satisfaction and low stress. Here are some highlights of the list.
Capital One Financial
Specializing in banking, credit cards, and home and auto loan services, Capital One Financial employs over 45,000 people across the US, Canada, and the UK.

With 66% of employees reporting a high job satisfaction, the average experienced pay is $96,100.
Fidelity National Financial
Much more than just one financial firm, Fidelity National is a conglomerate of the leading mortgage technology and title insurance companies. The company is no stranger to forward progress either. Fidelity National boasts an almost equal gender breakdown with 51% male and 49% of their employees being female. The perks don’t stop there, 25% of their employees report the ability to work remotely, and 10% report that their job is low stress. These statistics make it no surprise that over 70% of their employees report high job satisfaction and the experienced median pay is $96,300.
