editor Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Glassdoor is out with its annual list of the best companies for which to work in America. Three are Texas-based:2. Southwest Airlines, Dallas19. National Instrument, Austin32. Fluor, IrvingNone in Houston, though. Glassdoor ratings are interesting because they are based, in large part, on reviews by actual employees inside the companies, and not just on numbers. I'm sure a lot of us have worked for companies that look great on paper, but provided a less than great working environment.Here's the full list, where you can read the employee reviews: http://www.glassdoor.com/Best-Places-to-Work-LST_KQ0,19.htmHere's the top ten:1. Facebook, Palo Alto (San Francisco)2. Southwest Airlines, Dallas3. Bain & Company, Boston4. General Mills, Minneapolis5. Edelman, Chicago6. Boston Consulting, Boston7. SAS Institute, Cary (Raleigh)8. Slalom Consulting, Seattle9. Overstock.com, Salt Lake City10. Susquehanna International Group, Bala Cynwyd (Philadelphia)It's interesting to me that so few dot-coms are in the top ten, even though there is a stereotype about what it's like to work at a dot-com. Apple and Google were in the 20's, and 30's. And there's only one true dot-com in the top ten.What's the best company you've ever worked for?

lockmat Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 At least a Fluor has a Houston presence :/ I'm not sure how big compared to their others though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 David Weekley Homes used to always make that list. Maybe criteria or the recent economy kept them out this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
