If you feel the same way, now's the time to speak up. Nominations are being accepted for the 18th annual employer rankings, a free process open to any organization with 50 or more workers in Massachusetts — public, private, nonprofit, or government.
Companies are evaluated by their employees using a 25-question survey conducted by the Globe's research partner, Energage, which administers employee surveys in 65 markets. Last year, 67,950 Massachusetts employees were surveyed at 323 companies, and 175 winners made the list in four size categories.

The recognition also makes for a useful recruiting tool.

At Waltham-based Lamacchia Realty, the No. 1 large company for the last two years, there's a 'buzz' after the results are announced, from employees as well as from clients and vendors, said Kim Beaulieu, the company's vice president of human resources.
'Earning a Top Places to Work award is a distinctive mark of excellence, setting companies apart in a recognizable way,' Eric Rubino, Energage's chief executive, said in a statement. 'Companies that earn this recognition embody the highest standards, and this award, rooted in authentic employee feedback, should be a point of immense pride.'
These companies also have amazing perks. A few of our favorites over the years: pajama day, complete with pancakes and eggs for lunch; a quarterly drawing for two bonus weeks of vacation; and a dunk tank where employees get to soak the executives.
The deadline for company nominations is April 25. The list of winners, and stories about what sets them apart, will be published later this year.
