Fortune magazine and Great Place to Work® have selected First American Equipment Finance as one of the 2026 Best Medium Workplaces (100 to 999 FTE). This is First American’s 11th time being named to this prestigious list, this year coming in at #6. Earning a spot means that First American is one of the best companies to work for in the country.
To determine the Best Medium Workplaces™ list, Great Place to Work® analyzed the survey responses of over 240,000 employees from Great Place To Work Certified™ companies with 100 to 999 U.S. employees. In that survey, 98% of colleagues at First American said it is a great place to work, compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company.
The Best Medium Workplaces award is highly competitive. Great Place To Work® determines its lists using its proprietary platform to evaluate and certify thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study, based on over 1.3 million survey responses and data from companies representing more than 7.3 million employees this year alone. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for employees regardless of job role, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.
“Earning this recognition reflects the culture our colleagues have built together through their actions every day,” said CEO Alan Sikora. “When people operate with respect, collaborate with purpose, and share a commitment to excellence, they create the foundation for a workplace where both employees and the business can thrive.”
