SAS Named Best Company To Work For In 2010
theodp writes "If you're in the market for a new job, Fortune has just published its list of 100 Best Companies to Work For in 2010. Topping the list this year is SAS (SAS jobs), the largest privately held software company, which Fortune notes is populated with more statisticians than engineers or MBAs, and led by a Ph.D. founder whose first love is programming. Google (jobs), which once viewed SAS as model for employee perks, took the #4 spot, and Microsoft (jobs) checked in at #51."
Maybe they have to be nice to their employees to compensate for their embarrassing programming language.
Table-ized A.I.
I checked the list twice.
Where's Apple?
The SAS is certainly an elite outfit, probably better than the Green Berets. If the US military did have "the Unit' as portrayed by the CBS TV series then that would be the equivalent.
Of course you have to be a Brit to join it, its not like the French Foreign Legion.
I wish them the best of luck in finding and killing Bin Laden.
Came to read about commandos being the best employer. Left disappointed. Watched "Who Dares, Wins" to recover.
Wait, there are companies in *other countries*?
Really? Microsoft is great because of Windows 7 launch parties?
Microsoft is the greatest marketing company in the history of the world.
Just think what they could do if they were a _technology_ company!
*sigh*
It's possible what they're pointing out is that MS employees like what they do, and the products that they work on. That somebody would throw a private party in celebration of a corporate (rather than employee) milestone indicates that they really like their corporation.
"Yay! We finally have a product we can be proud of!" <whisper>Don't anyone mention IE; don't anyone mention IE!</whisper>
You're clearly a man (as am I)... but ask any woman, once a month every week can be very harsh (yes I equated pagers to periods)
