100 Best Companies to Work For

While many employers will say that their place of employment is better than any other other, it is one thing to talk-the-talk, but another thing to walk-the-walk. I can’t think of a better indicator of a best place to work than the opinions of those who actually work there. Fortune recently surveyed employees across the country to come up with a list of the 100 best companies to work for.
Let me guess. Google is at the top of the list, right? Wrong. Well, it is on the list, right? Wrong again. Google doesn’t even make the list. But Genentech does and it lands in the number one position. Never heard of them? Well, you’re not alone but you’ve heard of them now. They’re a biotechnology firm in South San Francisco and 95 percent of their employees are also shareholders. Their two most common jobs are salaried Research Associates, who earn an average of $69,425, and hourly Manufacturing BioProcess Technicians, who earn an average of $47,817.
