金普頓酒店集團(tuán)

員工如是說(shuō)：“從入職第一天起,，公司里所有人都很尊重我,，讓我感覺(jué)自己很特別。管理層讓我覺(jué)得像家人一樣,。所有公司都會(huì)向員工強(qiáng)調(diào)‘有成長(zhǎng)空間’,，但這家企業(yè)說(shuō)到做到，而且會(huì)確保機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)臨時(shí)你能準(zhǔn)備好,！不管生活順不順利，我都非常期待上班,！”

“公司網(wǎng)站的活動(dòng)頁(yè)面上,，是一對(duì)女同性戀擁抱的照片。我就是一對(duì)同性戀夫婦收養(yǎng)的女兒,，所以心情非常激動(dòng),。這家公司對(duì)所有人，而且是任何人都非常友好,。我在公司交到不少好朋友,，老板也都很棒，所以每天上班是件非?？鞓?lè)的事,。金普頓完美展現(xiàn)了酒店行業(yè)應(yīng)有的熱情。這不是一家普通的酒店企業(yè),，而是個(gè)像家一樣的地方,。我會(huì)在金普頓工作很長(zhǎng)很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間?！?/p>

“公司里似乎有條不成文的文化,，即‘不歡迎混蛋’,。這是我工作的第一家律師事務(wù)所，我從來(lái)沒(méi)遇到混蛋,。在Cooley似乎大家都默認(rèn)業(yè)績(jī)最重要,，表現(xiàn)出虛假的自己不會(huì)讓別人相信你成功。而且,，對(duì)人性的強(qiáng)調(diào)別處少見(jiàn),。很明顯的一點(diǎn)是這里的人們都愿意承認(rèn)自己，真心欣賞周?chē)苏鎸?shí)的一面,。你可以安靜,、古怪，性格激烈,，也可以有點(diǎn)懶散,，不用擔(dān)心擺出一副工作面孔。公司里充斥著多元的觀點(diǎn)和性格,、人們來(lái)自各個(gè)年齡段,，背景各異，生活方式很多樣,，讓人感覺(jué)氛圍清新舒適,，這也是公司成功的關(guān)鍵原因?！?/p>

There are a lot of great places to work in the Bay Area. It's an economic hub replete with free snacks, ping pong tables, and whimsically named conference rooms. But it takes more than perks to sort out the truly great workplaces from the so-so ones. Here, consulting firm Great Place to Work, partnering with Fortune, has crunched the numbers on thousands of employee surveys to create a new ranking of the best companies to work for in the Bay Area. What does it take to get on this list? These companies are thinking about HR in a new way, they get high marks for ethical leadership, and crucially, they're just as popular with their frontline employees as they are with upper-level management. Plus—good news for non-engineers—they're not just tech.

Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants

Employees say: "Since day one, everyone in this company has treated me with respect and made me feel special. Everyone in management has always made me feel like family. Companies often say that 'there is room for growth' for their employees, but this company really delivers, and they make sure that you are ready when that opportunity comes! I always look forward to coming in to work no matter what is going on in my life!"

"Our website events page has a picture of a lesbian couple embracing each other. As an adopted daughter to a gay couple, this was so inspiring to see. This really is a safe workplace for any and all types of people. I have made some of the best of friends working here, and I've worked alongside amazing bosses who make it exciting to come to work every day. Kimpton embodies everything the hospitality industry should be about. This is not just another corporate hotel, this place is a FAMILY. I will be with Kimpton for a very long time."

Cooley

Employees say: "Cooley is truly a team-focused environment first and foremost. You could walk into a conference room or a happy hour and not be able to tell the staff from the most senior partner in the sense that everyone is encouraged to be themselves, contribute meaningfully and drive toward the common goal of meeting our clients' needs. While everyone knows their particular roles, hierarchy and in-fighting is antithetical to our culture."

"There seems to be a sort of unwritten 'no jerks' rule. It's the first law firm I've worked for where I've never run into someone being full-on jerk. Cooley seems to recognize that your work speaks for itself, and that presenting a pretentious persona isn't what makes others believe in your success. Also, the emphasis on being human here is something that's unparalleled in other firms. It is clear that the people here are truly comfortable being themselves, and that they appreciate the same in the people around them. You're free to be quiet, or quirky, intense or laidback, without the pressure to conform to a company persona. The diversity of opinion, personalities, ages, backgrounds and lifestyles is refreshing and welcoming, and a key reason why we're successful as a firm."

Intuit

Employees say: "To actually get up every morning knowing that I get to do a job I love, and go to a company where I can do the best work of my life, is a blessing. I am constantly on Facebook singing the praises of this company because of its values and the leaders and the people that live them daily. This isn't a company that doesn't walk the walk. Being able to be openly gay and bring my whole self to work is one of the reasons I love working here. I worked at a company where that wasn't possible—I had to check that part of me at the door. I don't have to do that here, and that makes a huge difference. I feel accepted and valued, and I love what I do."

"Throughout my 21 years at Intuit, the one thing that clearly stands out for me is the sense of caring and community. The company has a culture of truly caring for each other as employees, for the well being of our customers, for the betterment of individuals, and for the health of our community as a whole. Ultimately, we fundamentally believe that we can make a difference in the world."

Salesforce

Employees say: "This is an extraordinarily special place that really cares about their employees, customers, and community alike. We are strongly encouraged to give back to the community. I have helped on projects from working in a soup kitchen to working in a children's hospital in Morocco, all supported by the company. We have many opportunities to do the best work of our careers, be recognized for it, and advance. I feel I can be creative and offer solutions that really help the company be successful. Most importantly, I look forward to coming to work everyday, working with our wonderful community, and doing satisfying challenging work."

"I love the focus on giving back to the community. Working at Salesforce is more than just a job. I feel like our mission is really to make the world a better place both in business and in life. It's not just a software company. We have a greater mission."

Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe

Employees say: "I have been with Orrick since the start of my career and very much feel that this is my work family. We have a close-knit, supportive group, and a small firm atmosphere with all of the resources and compensation of a big firm. We have a top-notch, transparent and dedicated leadership team, including our CEO Mitch. He truly wants everyone in the firm to make it a better place. All partners are charged with spending 2% of their time on an initiative of their choosing to make the firm better."

"People at this company truly care about one another and they will do almost anything they can to help you in a time of need. The employees truly bond together like one big family, and the company itself treats their employees as if they were relatives. I recently lost my father and this company was there to support me and check in on me during his time of sickness and, even more, after his passing. I have never had another employer do so much for me. I would gladly recommend Orrick as one of the best places to work in the country."

Workday

Employees say: "I have never in my entire career been told to take some PTO time—and when I am on PTO, I'm really on PTO. I'm not expected to respond to email or messages. It's truly time away from work. I'm never made to feel guilty about taking time for my family either. Workday believes family is important and we work hard to play hard. I absolutely LOVE working at Workday!"

"This company feels like it is on a mission—part of a movement. We are all bought in and believe in it, and we have so much fun."

Swinerton

Employees say: "This company gives you the ability to utilize your skills to the fullest. There is nobody breathing down your neck and forcing you to do things a certain way. The ability to put talented people together to foster chemistry is like nothing I have ever seen."

"This company is unique because it provides employees the opportunity to grow within the organization, and management is always willing to mentor and support employees. The diversity of people is also unique; we have a wide range of people with different interests, backgrounds, and experiences."

Marriott International

Employees say: "What truly makes Marriott a great place to work is the people. There is a sense of camaraderie and longevity among Marriott employees that is not common. Observing just my department, we are 16 strong with 267 combined years of Marriott experience. We work as a cohesive team, valuing each other’s opinions and working together to achieve company goals."

"Marriott’s history is legendary and fascinates me. It started as a family business—the first A&W root beer stand—and over the span of almost a century has evolved into the largest hotel company in the world. Hard work and dedication resulted in the true American Dream. Management empowers their associates. In the more than 20 years of my career, I have never been empowered to make decisions or offer suggestions without fear of being judged or criticized. The diversity of all the associates—their race, culture, sexual orientation, and age—is what makes Marriott a unique and welcoming place to work."

MOD Pizza

Employees say: "This is one of the few companies I've had the pleasure of working for that is true to its word. Managers and my bosses have always followed through on what they say, and made sure to communicate clearly throughout my time here. In less than a year I've grown from an entry-level position (dishwasher/cashier) to a fully-salaried General Manager with benefits and bonus opportunities. I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity that MOD Pizza has provided me with. I believe this is a company where performance counts, and they have provided plenty of opportunities for me to seize. I've grown with this company and look forward to continuing my career with them in the future."

"Over the years, the idea of giving people second chances or fresh starts has really become a focus for the business, and as a result it feels like the whole company is motivated and inspired make a positive impact on the lives of as many people as possible. Stories of inspiration are shared throughout the company on a regular basis, so we feel connected and aware of how lives are being improved by MOD. Sometimes the stories are about an individual MOD Squader's journey, or sometimes we hear about how a community partner has benefited from MOD's contribution. It is awesome to work at a company that has a purpose beyond just profit. It is a meaningful and rewarding place to work."

Indeed

Employees say: "The company takes care of employees—we get all the usual tech perks (free food, a gym, etc.)—but I think this stuff is meaningless if the work is tedious or boring, or the management is of poor quality. At my last job, the perks were a bit of a bait-and-switch. They dangled them in front of prospective employees, but treated them badly once they were onboard. Here, they are kept in perspective. First and foremost, the work is interesting and meaningful and challenging."

"I'm particularly inspired by my managers and the overall management style of the company. I never feel micromanaged. Indeed allows a ton of career advancement and provides tools for us to know what needs to be accomplished for promotions and movement. I have not stopped learning since I came here, and that is probably the best part about working here. It is a rich place culturally and intellectually."

I also admire the fact that this commitment is reflected with dollars, jobs and programming. Similar things can be said about our green and sustainability initiatives as well. To be blunt, I love that Adobe embodies, defines, and sets the standard for being a creative tech company."

"I have always felt that Adobe's culture emphasized individual ownership and accountability—and that we are all hired because we are competent, innovative, motivated employees, and our contributions to the business are appreciated, acknowledged, and rewarded."

Our Slalom culture is paramount to our happiness as a firm and the key to our success. It is unique, and passionately defended and nurtured by the company."

"There seems to be a genuine concern for the growth and development of people in the organization. The company cares about the employees themselves, and is not just chasing consulting work or revenue targets. We are known as the 'Slalom Family' because of the trust put in us by people inside and outside of the workplace."

"I love our Hack Weeks. We have them three times a year, and they provide opportunities to work on something that you're really passionate about but that might otherwise be outside of your regular work. It's also a great opportunity to meet and work with other people across the company with similar interests. The entire product team gets involved, and it's a ton of fun (plus a great way to get even more great features out to our customers)."

"There are talented people at many of the successful, growing technology companies, but Dropbox seems to have attracted a very particular type of crowd. There's an overwhelming sense of humility among employees. I'm truly honored to be a part of a company that feels like a family; a place where I refer to my peers as friends first, coworkers second; a place that I can wake up every morning and get excited about going to; a workplace environment that empowers its occupants to produce their absolute best work; and a place that is full of so much love, care, dedication, and selflessness that the only appropriate word that I can think of to describe it would have to be 'magical'.

We are heavily involved in local community activities around the globe, including many social sabbaticals that donate weeks at a time from our experts in different areas. Our solutions are used by the best in each industry to be best that they can be. I like being a part of that."

"I believe this company has more than its share of bright and dedicated employees. It has a stricter ethical code than its peers. It shows greater care for employees than its peers. And it shows greater care for communities worldwide, often donating generously towards disaster relief and the economically disadvantaged. It is aggressively attacking gender bias and supports the LGBT community. I am very proud to work for SAP and don't see another place I would rather work."

Cisco

Employees say: "This is one of the most unselfish companies. As employees, we have the luxury and benefit of working for a management team who makes learning and growing a top priority for the individual contributor. Our leadership works with each team member to discover and grow individual talent. The belief here is that if the teammate grows, our team and our company grows. We are encouraged to explore our career interests even if that means we might leave our current team for another position. In fact, our leadership provides career advice and management."

"To say that Cisco is a progressive company would be understating things. Before I worked for Cisco, I had not encountered a company that cares for its employees this much. I have had some critical medical issues and, working for Cisco, I felt as though I had a big brother who cared for me as my health changed. Knowing I was coming back to work at Cisco helped me cope with the issues I had. All in all, Cisco has helped me be a better person, and I continually strive to better myself here."

Stryker

Employees say: "After four years with this company, I can honestly say Stryker takes and teaches the ethical and moral position in all business transactions. That is something I am proud of in an industry where, despite the best efforts of governing bodies, unethical decisions often affect patient care and hospital bottom lines. I am proud to wear the Stryker logo on my chest every day, and I think that my coworkers and managers all put in 110% to get the job done. It is a special group of people. "

"Hard work and dedication are extremely highly valued at Stryker. With the medical industry the way that it is, there are a lot of highs and lows, and through these times I feel that all aspects of our company supports me and my efforts. I do not ever feel like my job is on the line as long as I'm working hard and doing what I'm supposed to. Management celebrates my wins and supports me during my losses. I feel very proud of the fact that I can call Stryker my company, and I also love the level of prestige that comes with the name."

That's anything from the Bag Off contest, to store parties, to whitewater rafting, even to a flash mob that we are doing this year. This really is an amazing place to work."

"Nugget definitely has a way with making its associates feel appreciated. Nugget realizes that without us they wouldn't be so successful after 90 years. I've never worked for a company that really truly cares about its people. Every single week associates are recognized, it's incredible to feel so loved. It really feels like you are coming home when you come to work. Nugget has pride in family and you can see that every day."

You can feel that they care what is on employees' minds and they react accordingly."

"Management does a great job creating a familial atmosphere.

"Our CEO's vision for the company inspires me as an employee. WWT has experienced rapid growth, over the past three years especially, and the trajectory our leaders have laid out is forward-thinking enough to cultivate a sense of business viability in a transforming industry, and tactical enough to give us a blueprint for achieving it.
