In the midst of an increasingly volatile and uncertain Mexican labor market, LinkedIn published its 2025 ranking of the 25 best companies for career advancement in Mexico. This list, going beyond corporate prestige, focuses on real development opportunities for those seeking not only employment but also a future.
This ranking—prepared exclusively with internal platform data—analyzes eight essential pillars for professional growth: the possibility of advancement, the acquisition of new skills, business stability, external projection, affinity with the organization, gender diversity, staff educational level, and national presence.
What do Oracle, Walmart, Nissan, and AstraZeneca have in common? They are all among the 25 organizations that, according to LinkedIn, offer the best conditions for career development. But the list is not homogeneous: it encompasses everything from technology giants to traditional retailers, pharmaceutical companies, consulting firms, digital banks, and manufacturing companies.
In the top 5, we find:
Oracle, specialized in cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
EY, an audit and digital transformation consultancy.
Thomson Reuters, a provider of solutions for legal and tax areas.
Coppel, with a presence in financial goods and services.
PepsiCo, a leader in food and beverages.
In the health and science sectors, AstraZeneca and Novartis Mexico stand out, focused on the research and commercialization of medicines for serious diseases. In the consumer goods sector, Henkel, Colgate-Palmolive, and Procter & Gamble stand out for their home, personal care, and health brands.
The financial and technology sectors are also gaining ground. From Nubank (Nu Mexico), a pioneer in commission-free digital services, to Mastercard, a cornerstone of electronic payments. Companies such as Google (Alphabet Inc.), HP, and EPAM Systems are consolidating the influence of software, the cloud, and artificial intelligence as key tools for workforce mobility.
The consulting sector, one of the most competitive and hierarchical, is well represented by KPMG, PwC Mexico, and once again EY, which have successfully adapted to the challenges of sustainability, digital transformation, and risk management.
The industrial and manufacturing sector is also prominent. These include Honeywell, Schneider Electric, Steelcase, and Nissan Motor Corporation, the latter standing out for its strong presence in Aguascalientes and Morelos, where it will assemble more than 669,000 vehicles by 2024.
Commerce and retail are also positioned as drivers of domestic growth. With more than 3,600 stores, Walmart Mexico and Central America leads this sector, followed by El Puerto de Liverpool, an iconic department store chain.
Finally, the list is completed by Newmont Corporation, a mining operator in Zacatecas; Thales, specializing in defense, aerospace, and cybersecurity; and Steelcase, with its furniture design model for collaborative and sustainable environments.
This ranking not only acts as a compass for those seeking better career prospects, but also as a thermometer for the types of skills and areas of knowledge that the Mexican market will value most in 2025. In a country where job insecurity persists, these 25 names do not represent a collective goal, but rather a reminder that professional advancement—at least in some areas—is still possible.
