Timberland, Nike, REI and W.L. Gore all landed spots on Fortunes annual “Top 100 Companies to Work For” list. W.L. Gore, REI and Timberland have been included in the list every year since its inception in 1997 while Nike first appeared on the list last year at #100.
Nike jumped up several spots this year to #69 and passed Timberland, which landed in #78. REI landed in #27 while W.L. Gore was the only company in the top ten at #10.
Companies are selected for the list based on the results of a random survey of employees, along with company-supplied information on culture, philosophy and benefits. The employee survey is designed to evaluate a companys policies, practices and philosophies, and accounts for two-thirds of the scoring.
