Best Companies to Work For, 2011
Thursday, January 20, 2011FortuneonCNNMoney.com
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.

Aaron Task talks with Leigh Gallagher of Fortune Magazine about the Best
Companies to Work For on Tech Ticker.
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

Top 15 Best Companies to Work For, 2011
1. SAS

Rank: 1 (Previous rank: 1)
What makes it so great?
A 14-year veteran of this list, the software firm takes the top spot for the
second year running.
Its perks are epic: on-site healthcare, high quality childcare at $410 per
month, summer camp for kids, car cleaning, a beauty salon, and more — it's
all enough to make a state-of-the-art, 66,000-square-foot gym seem like
nothing special by comparison.
This year, strong employee feedback sent its numbers even higher. Says one
manager: "People stay at SAS in large part because they are happy, but to
dig a little deeper, I would argue that people don't leave SAS because they
feel regarded — seen, attended to and cared for. I have stayed for that
reason, and love what I do for that reason."
2009 revenue ($ millions): 2,310
2. Boston Consulting Group

Rank: 2 (Previous rank: 8)
What makes it so great?
The consulting giant not only avoided layoffs in the downturn, but hired its
largest class of recruits ever in 2010.
They're drawn by the firm's generous pay and a commitment to social work:
Its Social Impact Practice Network (SIPN) offers a chance to work with the U
.N. World Food Program and Save the Children, while BCG pulled its
consultants off client projects to provide on-the-ground support in Haiti
following the earthquake.
The company jumps up from no. 8 last year.
2009 revenue ($ millions): 2,750
3. Wegmans Food Markets

Rank: 3 (Previous rank: 3)
What makes it so great?
This customer-friendly supermarket chain cares about the well-being of its
workers, too. This year, 11,000 employees took part in a challenge to eat
five cups of fruit and vegetables a day and walk up to 10,000 steps a day
for eight weeks.
Another 8,000 took advantage of health screenings that included a flu shot
and H1N1 vaccine — all covered by Wegmans.
2009 revenue ($ millions): 5,193
4. Google

Rank: 4 (Previous rank: 4)
What makes it so great?
The search giant is famous for its laundry list of perks including free food
at any of its cafeterias, a climbing wall, and, well, free laundry.
Last year, with revenue up more than 20%, Google sweetened this already rich
pot of perks by giving every employee a 10% pay hike. Googlers can also
award one another $175 peer spot bonuses — last year more than two-thirds
of them did so.
2009 revenue ($ millions): 23,651 |
