*Methodology: To pick the 100 Best Companies to Work For, Fortune
partners with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most
extensive employee survey in corporate America: 259 firms participated
in this year's survey. More than 277,000 employees at those companies
responded to a survey created by the institute, a global research and
consulting firm operating in 45 countries around the world. Two-thirds
of a company's score is based on the results of the institute's Trust
Index survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each
company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about
management's credibility, job satisfaction, and camaraderie. The other
third is based on responses to the institute's Culture Audit, which
includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series
of open-ended questions about hiring practices, methods of internal
communication, training, recognition programs, and diversity efforts.
After evaluations are completed, if news about a company comes to light
that may significantly damage employees' faith in management, we may
exclude it from the list. Any company that is at least five years old
and has more than 1,000 U.S. employees is eligible. For more information
