With Google topping the list, Mattel comes in at #70, pretty impressive considering the tens of thousands of companies not on the list … is one the criteria for making the list ‘being ultra secretive’? JUST KIDDING! Just kidding … sort of 🙂

Here’s the criteria for making the list:

“How we pick the 100 best? To pick the 100 Best Companies to Work for, Fortune partners with Great Place to Work Institute® to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America. Of some 1,500 firms that were contacted, 406 companies participated in this year’s survey. Nearly 100,000 employees at those companies responded to a 57-question survey created by the Great Place to Work Institute®, a global research and consulting firm with offices in 30 countries.”

Here’s Mattel’s page.

And the full list is here.
