Top 100

 This article is actually about the top 100 companies to work for in the

United States

. The number one company to work for is Google. The reasons vary for all companies and since this report started coming out companies have been vying for a spot on the top 100 for ten years now. The good thing about this survey is that it all depends on what the employees have to say, not the employers. Some of the perks that Google has for their employees are free meals, swimming spas, and free onsite doctors. Also, engineers for Google are allowed to spend 20 percent of their time on independent projects. This is why Google gets 1300 resumes a day. What this survey shows us is, it is good to take care of your workers and to make them happy and setup a good workplace. People who are taken care of want to work for your company and they not only want to work for your company but they will work harder for you as well. Other companies include Whole Foods. While the pay at Whole Foods may not be the best neither is the CEO's pay. The CEO decided that his yearly salary will be one dollar and also decided to forego all stock options. This may not be the smartest thing to do but certainly does lead by example.
