FRAMINGHAM, MA--(Marketwired - Jun 23, 2014) - IDG's Computerworld -- the voice of business technology -- is proud to announce the 2014 Best Places to Work in IT list. The Computerworld editorial team compiled this extensive list based on a comprehensive questionnaire regarding organization offerings such as benefits, diversity, career development, training and retention, as well as a worker satisfaction survey completed by a random sampling of IT employees at the participating organizations. The 100 winning organizations were then categorized by company size based on the number of employees (large, midsize, small).
"Hiring the best and the brightest IT pros, offering them competitive pay and providing top-notch benefits is just the beginning for the outstanding employers on this year's Best Places to Work in IT list," said Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld . "Both newcomers to the list and rock-steady stalwarts nurture their talent with challenging business-critical projects, extensive training opportunities and ongoing career development programs. They invest in their own futures by investing in their employees."
What Makes an Organization a Best Place to Work in IT? Consistent with previous winners, 100% of this year's 100 Best Places to Work in IT organizations offer health insurance, paid vacations and 401(k)/403(b) plans. This year also saw an increase in organizations offering an employee assistance program (97%). Offering flexible work hours debuts in this year's top 5 benefits among winning organizations (97%).
For the first time this year's list of top 100 Best Places to Work in IT list is organized by company size based on the number of employees. Large organizations are classified as having 5,000 or more U.S. employees, while midsize organizations have between 1,000 and 4,999 U.S. employees and small organizations have fewer than 1,000 U.S. employees. Some of the companies featured are divisions of larger, global organizations, though they may have a small U.S. footprint.
