Indeed’s Work Wellbeing Report, based on data points from 30 million individuals, reveals a troubling trend.
Sixty percent of respondents feel stressed at work most of the time. The survey measures 15 dimensions of workplace wellbeing, from happiness and purpose to stress management, forming an overall “Work Wellbeing Index.”
In the tech sector, where long hours and rapid change are common, the findings spotlight companies creating calmer work cultures. Indeed’s new “Stress-Free Score” ranks the top five least-stressed tech employers of 2025.
Before you ask: No, Indeed would not give me the most stressful tech companies! Here are are least-stressful workplaces in tech:
- Intuit — Stress-Free Score: ★★★★★ (High)
- IBM — Stress-Free Score: ★★★☆☆ (Above Average)
- Nvidia — Stress-Free Score: ★★★☆☆ (Above Average)
- Yahoo! — Stress-Free Score: ★★☆☆☆ (Average)
- Microsoft — Stress-Free Score: ★★☆☆☆ (Average)
For me, the company that really sticks out here is Nvidia. This chipmaker has surged to the top of the tech industry in just three years. Revenue has exploded, and the workforce remains pretty small.
Given all this, how does Nvidia retain a relatively stress-free workplace? I think one answer is that the company has rarely, if ever, done layoffs, which means tenure is quite long among employees. You can read about this in Eugene Kim’s excellent inside look at Nvidia’s workplace here.
Even in a time of radical AI transformation, Nvidia employees likely appreciate long-term stability.
