NVIDIA has been ranked as the top high-tech company to work for in Israel for 2026, according to the Duns 100 ranking released by Dun & Bradstreet. This marks the 12th year the ranking has been published, based on research involving hundreds of companies and startups, combining HR data with satisfaction surveys from thousands of employees.
The most significant newcomer to the ranking is cybersecurity firm Island, which debuts at second place. Microsoft, previously second, drops to third, while Palo Alto Networks and Salesforce round out the top five at fourth and fifth, respectively. Other notable companies in the top ten include Silverfort (6th), SAP Labs Israel (7th), PANAYA (8th), Autodesk Israel (9th), and AppsFlyer (10th).
Further down the list, Rubrik, Cloudinary, and Overwolf entered the top 20 at 11th, 12th, and 13th places, respectively, with Google Israel ranking 19th. In contrast, monday.com experienced a substantial drop from third to 35th place. Coralogix and Optibus each climbed 25 spots, reaching 17th and 18th.
In the category of startups with over 100 employees, Navina secured the top spot, followed by NoTraffic and Viz.ai. Fetcherr and Sweet Security took fourth and fifth, with Tailor Brands, Oasis Security, Hyro, Agora Real Estate Technologies, and Honeycomb Insurance completing the top ten. Among startups with up to 100 employees, Kodem Security led, followed by Oak Security and Noma Security. This category also saw a strong presence of cybersecurity firms.
For the first time, the ranking also assessed companies based on their adoption and implementation of AI. Leading companies in this area include AppsFlyer, Microsoft, monday.com, NiCE, and Salesforce. Among startups, Cycode, Komodor, Loox, Mitiga, and Shield Financial Compliance stood out.
The research also highlighted labor market challenges, with 88% of employees believing their organizations handled layoffs transparently and fairly, an increase from 77% last year. While 80% of startup employees in AI roles consider their salaries competitive, compared to 56% in larger companies, employees still report ongoing layoffs, instability, and disparities in training and promotion opportunities. Yael Belgray Cohen, Dun & Bradstreet's High-Tech Sector Manager, emphasized that employee trust is built on difficult decisions and investment in professional futures, with transparency during layoffs, AI training, and talent development being key tests for high-tech employers.
