Google No Longer #1 Company to Work For




by www.submitedge.com


Last year Google headed up the Fortune Magazine list of the 100 best companies to work for. This year they got shoved down to #3 – by a data management company, no less.

According to Fortune, NetApp has made the list the past six years – and landed the coveted top dog spot this year because of their realistic take on the way things work in the real world:

Typical of its down-to-earth management ethos, NetApp early on ditched a travel policy a dozen pages long in favor of this maxim: “We are a frugal company. But don’t show up dog-tired to save a few bucks. Use your common sense.” Rather than business plans, many units write “future histories,” imagining where their business will be a year or two out.

NetApp also has a top notch health package that includes autism benefits (unheard of), generous adoption aid credits ($11,390), and even five days paid leave a year for the specific purpose of allowing employees time to do volunteer work.

NetApp has had an increase in market share this year despite the economy, hasn’t had any layoffs, and has a liquidity of $2 million in cash, proving that treating employees right isn’t necessarily exclusive of profits.

Google still makes the list, but it seems more due to relaxed atmosphere, a generous telecommuting policy and onsite daycare…
