100 Best Companies rank:20
The cloud-based people management solution company doesn’t just help others manage human capital—it strives to be the ultimate example of workplace excellence. The company boasts fully paid healthcare and dental benefits for employees and dependents, and has a full-time wellness coach who organizes healthy living classes and consults employees one-on-one. Employees say the health classes and wellness counseling help them keep the pounds off — in spite of the company’s frequently catered buffets. With offices featuring Vitamix juicers and “chill rooms,” Ultimate Software strikes a balance between work and pleasure. All new hires are given stock ownership grants when they join the company. In May, the company also launched a Community of Interest called PRIDE US to support its LGBTQIA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual) community. Says one employee: “I love the fully paid health care benefits, the 401(k) program, the yearly company trip, along with the countless breakfasts, lunches, etc. that are also company-paid. The best part of working for Ultimate are the intangibles — I'm respected, valued, rewarded, and I genuinely enjoy my job and co-workers. This is undoubtedly the best job I've ever had, and I'm so grateful to be here.” Read the Great Rated! reviewhere.

As long as projects get done and managers approve, U.S. employees—“Workmates,” as they’re known—can take as much time off as they need with a flexible, unlimited paid-time-off policy. There are also Cantina Cocktail Fridays and arcade games at the office. A “Sprint to Europe” work exchange program allows employees to spend a month abroad in Workday’s offices in Munich and Dublin. “The executive team has created a culture that makes you happy and proud to work for Workday,” says one employee. “I actually look forward to Mondays.” Read the Great Rated! reviewhere.

The management consulting and technology services firm motivates employees with a profit-sharing program.

A majority of employees (94 percent) say promotions go to those who best deserve them—well above benchmark for the country’s very best companies. In addition, when employees achieve a shared goal, they can earn gifts from senior partner Mark Seeley's list of “Mark’s Favorite Things.” Says one employee: "Rewards are designed to incentivize the right behavior. I've seen leadership make the right ethical choices that may have negatively impacted the bottom line, but kept the company and their integrity intact." Read the Great Rated! reviewhere.

这家社交商务公司向全职员工赠送股票期权，并为他们订午餐。每位员工每年还能获得150美元来参加外部活动，比如学习调制鸡尾酒和制作玻璃器皿。该公司每个月都会给标兵员工或团队颁发500美元的黄伞奖，后者则会用这笔钱来造福同事或整个公司。有人用它办了一场苏格兰威士忌品酒会，还有人用它买了一个桌上足球机。获奖者还要决定下个月的获奖人选，这种做法增强并体现公司的社交氛围。一位员工说：“在我工作过的公司中，只有这里让我真正感到了同事之间的友情。每个人确实都在尽量为对方着想，而且总是给予他人鼓励和支持。”（财富中文网）
