For the second year in a row, Google has been named as the best company to work for in America by Fortune magazine.
Google has topped the latest list of ‘100 Best American Companies to Work for’ followed by online mortgage lender Quicken Loans and store chain Wegmans Food Markets in the second and third positions, respectively.
“Back in our No.1 spot, Google continued to mint millionaires as the stock cracked $70. It gives stock options to 99 per cent of employees,” the magazine said.
Other leading names in the list include Cisco Systems, Starbucks Coffee, Adobe Systems, Ernst & Young, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Procter & Gamble, AstraZeneca and Nike.
According to the report, the job growth at Google is down to 60 per cent as compared to 67 per cent in 2007.
The list was jointly prepared by Fortune and consulting firm Great Place to Work Institute after surveying 406 companies.
