When it comes to sustaining personal and professional success, work-life balance is critical. The right mix of work-life balance allows you to feel challenged and satisfied by your work, while also leaving enough time to head to happy hour with your friends or binge watch Netflix at night — whatever floats your boat. And while not all companies lend themselves to a good work-life balance, these eight companies have all scored high work-life balance ratings. And bonus: they are all hiring!
