Top tech employers for the Delaware Valley

On a whim, I asked Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini the following question.

Give me a table with the top-20 tech employers in the Delaware Valley area of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Score each of them with estimates for "employee satisfaction", "technology relevance", and "business leadership".

I asked Llama (in the Brave Browser), too, but Llama failed badly.

It's worth noting that all three platforms included disclaimers like these from Gemini:

Note:

• This list includes both large corporations with significant presence in the region and smaller, more specialized tech companies.
• The scores for employee satisfaction, technology relevance, and business leadership are subjective estimates and may vary based on different perspectives.
• The tech industry is rapidly evolving, and the ranking of companies may change over time.

For more accurate and up-to-date information, consider using platforms like Glassdoor for employee satisfaction insights and industry reports for technology relevance and business leadership assessments.

Surprisingly, there are some companies up there that I haven't even heard of. I liked the High/Medium/Low rating system that Gemini used, but "Various locations" is sort of a cop-out. ChatGPT loses points, since it didn't list the locations. Overall, I give the win to Claude - assuming that no hallucinations snuck in there.

I recently put a list of my own together as a suggestion list for someone in a job search. Let's see how I compared to the AIs. Note that my list is ordered alphabetically, and doesn't contain any scores.

Company	Location
AGI	Exton
Astra Pharmaceuticals	Wilmington
Boeing	Near PHL airport
Comcast	Philadelphia / West Chester
CTDI	West Chester
DuckDuckGo	Paoli
Gab	Clark's Summit
Jefferson University Hospital	Philadelphia
Lockheed Martin	King of Prussia
Merck	West Point
Microsoft	Great Valley
PJM Interconnect	Audubon / Trooper
QVC	West Chester
Sabre Systems	Warminster
SAP	Newtown Square
SEI	Oaks
Siemens	Great Valley
Sungard AS	Wayne
Unisys	Blue Bell
Vanguard	Malvern

Update:In addition to Gemini's cop-out with "various locations", I'm pretty sure that Oracle doesn't have any substantial presence in Newtown Square. I'm also skeptical about the "Delaware Valley offices" claim for NVIDIA, Cisco and Intel. All in all, I think that much of Gemini's response is probably lazy and hallucinated. After looking into some of the companies that I'd never heard of, I think the responses from Claude and ChatGPT are mostly legit.

Thank you for your time and attention.

As a general rule, I up-vote comments that demonstrate "proof of reading".
