This perennial list goes a long way in establishing who are the best companies to work for, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, and a bunch of other technology perennials is not on this list. That is the surprising part, and maybe a little shine has gone out of working in the mega corp. The other striking thing about the entry is the use of Family, and the use of Work Life balance, where people want to work in a nice family environment, and they do not want to work 90 hours a week, they want to work, and they want to know their kids, spouses, and others that are important in their life. This is a major change in how the differentiator about what makes a great place to work, and what does not starts showing through. Everyone wants something cool to work on, neat projects that have benefit to others, where IT and Business are aligned, and the reason why people are there is well known to everyone in the company. This is a great change in how people perceive IT, and the work loads that people want out of IT. And it means that the age of people in the back room is drawing to a close. ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* Call the Domain Experts Today Find the perfect domain name & great tools for growing your business.

The convergence of IT and Business means that the reason that IT does things has to make sense to business managers. The article is well worth really sitting down and reading, and then scoping out the list of the top 100 companies. It is interesting to note who they are, and who is missing from this particular list. While other lists will come out that sing the praises of Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and other mega corps. Maybe settling down and just having some fun at work, working with great people, who all know what needs to be done, and where they are going is an important aspect of job satisfaction.
