The polls that I see with "rate the best/worst company on XXX" are the most useless polls on Blind.

There are 4 type of users with opinion on a particular company -
1) Who worked on company X.
2) Who has close friends/relatives on company X and the opinion is based on their experience.
3) Who read article from a credible news site which has proof on the opinions they are expressing.
4) Who formed opinions through discussion forums like Reddit/HN/Blind.

The poll gives equal weightage and voice to form an opinion for all 4 category of users. These type of questions are best suited with surveys of 2-3 questions.

This is clearly reflected in the Polls where Users here have too much positive bias for Google and negative bias for Amazon. So any best survey will win by Google (even with all the problems) and any worst survey will always be lost by Amazon (even if there are non-tech or WITCH companies in the poll).
