SAS takes the prize again! When it comes to workplaces, few companies
offer the kinds of perks the privately held software giant does:
Employees at its Cary, N.C., campus can help themselves to everything
from a tailor, a manicurist, and a hair salon, to summer camp programs
for kids, to car detailing — all of which helped land the company at the
top of our list of the 100 best workplaces last year. This year the
feedback from employees — the core of our survey — was even stronger
than last year, and SAS's scores increased significantly. "They were
head and shoulders above anybody else," says Milton Moskowitz, the
co-author of the list.Landing the top spot twice in a row is a
feat on the Best Companies to Work For list, where on-site gyms and
401(k) matches are de rigueur. (Free cafeterias, tanning beds, and an
on-site life coach? Now we have a conversation.) The top five this year
reflect some names familiar to readers of our list: Boston Consulting
Group at No. 2, Wegmans Food Markets in third place, Google once again
in the No. 4 slot, and data-storage company NetApp (No. 1 in 2009) is
fifth. This year we welcome 10 newcomers to the list, including Hasbro,
Morningstar, Stryker, and Darden Restaurants. We also welcome back many
stalwarts: 13 companies have earned a spot on our list each of its 14
years, among them Cisco, Wegmans Food Markets, Microsoft, and — yes —
Goldman Sachs.How do we put the list together? Simply stated, we ask the employees
themselves. We partner with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct
an extensive survey of hundreds of employees at each company.
Two-thirds of a company's score is based on employees' answers to
questions about such factors as job satisfaction, management
credibility, and camaraderie. (The other third is based on the
companies' responses to detailed questions about pay, benefit programs,
hiring practices, recognition programs, diversity efforts, and more.)So who are this year's Best Companies and what's so great about them? Read on.Read more
