The In-n-Out logo is displayed on the front of an In-n-Out restaurant on October 28, 2021 in Pleasant Hill, California.
The new ranking doesn't surprise LaShawn Davis, a leadership and workplace culture expert who founded and runs consulting firm The HR Plug.
Davis has worked in human resources for more than a decade, and says it's clear why In-N-Out Burger rivals those tech companies when it comes to leadership and culture.
"It starts with the CEO," Davis tells CNBC Make It.
In-N-Out's CEO is Linsi Snyder, 42, who took over her family's business at age 27 after a series of family deaths.
