Fortune: 6 South Bay Companies Among Best To Work For

Fremont, CA — The business magazine Fortune, in partnership with analytics firm Great Place to Work, has released its annual list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For in the United States.

Hilton took home the top spot on the list for the second year in a row, with Ultimate Software and Wegmans Food Markets rounding out the top three.

With our close proximity to the South Bay, it's a fairly quick commute to get to the six employers that made the list. They are: Cisco, Intuit, Nvidia, Adobe, Cadence, and Nutanix.

Elsewhere in the Bay Area, San Francisco had 5 of the best companies to work for in the nation, including Salesforce, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, Orrick, Dropbox, and Atlassian.

Three companies from the Peninsula and one from the East Bay also made the list. From the Peninsula: Cooley, Box, and Genentech. And in the East Bay is Workday, over in Pleasanton.

To be considered for the list, companies submitted an application detailing over 200 data points describing their HR programs and practices. Great Place to Work, an analytics firm that has partnered with Fortune to create the list for the past 23 years, then conducted an anonymous survey of each company's workforce.

In total, 85 percent of the evaluation was based on what employees reported in the survey about “their experiences of trust and reaching their full human potential as part of their organization,” according to a methodology section for the rankings on Fortune’s website.

Companies need to employ at least 1,000 U.S. employees to be considered for the list, and government agencies aren’t eligible.
