The list highlights workplaces with more than 5,000 employees globally that prioritize skill-building, career progression, and long-term growth across sectors. The list is based on LinkedIn’s platform data which further reaffirms Continental’s position as an employer of choice in the automotive and technology sectors.

The list evaluates companies across eight key pillars, namely the ability to advance, skills growth, company stability, external opportunity, company affinity, gender diversity, educational background, and employee presence in India.
