Amazon, BBVA, CaixaBank rank top

LinkedIn published its Top Companies 2026 ranking for Spain on Tuesday, with Amazon at No. 1, BBVA at No. 2 and CaixaBank at No. 3. (europapress.es) The ranking covers 25 companies that LinkedIn says offer the strongest career-development opportunities in Spain. It is the sixth Spanish edition of the list. (europapress.es) (topcomunicacion.com) To qualify, companies needed more than 5,000 employees worldwide and at least 500 in Spain. LinkedIn said it scored employers across eight pillars, including promotion prospects, skills development, stability, culture fit and internal mobility. (europapress.es) (topcomunicacion.com) Amazon held onto first place from last year. LinkedIn said the most valued skills there include project management, negotiation and data analysis. (europapress.es) For BBVA, LinkedIn highlighted financial analysis, project management and risk management. The most common roles listed were banking executive, business strategy director and data scientist. (europapress.es) For CaixaBank, the cited skills were financial analysis, negotiation and project management, while common jobs included banking executive, software engineer and financial adviser. CaixaBank said the result fits its 2025-2027 plan to hire 3,000 young and technical employees under age 35. (europapress.es) (publicnow.com) The top 10 after the podium were EY, Accenture, Ericsson, NTT, A.P. Moller-Maersk, Santander and Microsoft. LinkedIn said technology, finance, consulting, industrial and pharmaceutical groups still dominated the list. (europapress.es) (topcomunicacion.com) The ranking shifted from 2025, when Oracle and Pfizer were second and third. LinkedIn also flagged new entrants this year including CaixaBank, Microsoft, IBM, Agilent Technologies, FedEx, Sage and Koch. (europapress.es) (topcomunicacion.com) LinkedIn said the list was built from its Economic Graph data and is being published in 12 countries in 2026. The company also made a selection of LinkedIn Learning courses free through May 25. (topcomunicacion.com) (publicnow.com) This year’s Spanish list points to a labor market where big employers are being judged less on brand alone and more on whether workers can move, learn and stay. Amazon, BBVA and CaixaBank topped that screen on April 28. (topcomunicacion.com) (europapress.es)
