With a user base of more than 610 million, LinkedIn annually compiles lists which look at companies that would best suit certain countries and employees based there, including in the likes of Brazil, Germany, France and the U.K.

For Brazil’s “Top Companies” ranking, the professional networking platform analyzed organizations against four categories: job seeker demand, level of retention, along with how much interest and engagement a business has. In Brazil alone, LinkedIn has confirmed to CNBC that there are over 36 million members.

Here are the top 10 businesses to work for in Brazil:
