PALO ALTO, Calif., March 3, 2016 – For the second year in a row, VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) has ranked on Fortune magazine’s list of “100 Best Companies to Work for in the U.S.,” competing among hundreds of companies for the honor.
VMware was also highlighted as the following in Fortune’s Best Companies Coverage:
- No. 8 of companies located in the San Francisco Bay Area
- No. 7 of information technology companies
The field of potential competitors for the list is large. Any company that is at least five years old with more than 1,000 U.S. employees is eligible.
Judges base their selections on two components: an evaluation of each company’s policies and culture, and a confidential opinion survey of randomly selected employees. Two-thirds of the total score comes from the employee survey, which is made up of questions posed by the Great Place to Work Institute in San Francisco. It includes more than 50 questions and is designed to measure the frequency with which employees experience trust, pride, and camaraderie in the workplace, and was conducted last summer.
