A couple of local companies made Fortune Magazine's list of the
100 Best Companies to Work For, which it released earlier this month.
Minneapolis-headquartered
General Mills came in 58th while the
Mayo Clinic in Rochester placed 61st. Both companies have appeared on the list before.
To arrive at the results, Fortune asks employees about their childcare options, work-life balance, telecommuting, sabbaticals and other perks.
In the case of General Mills, the article states that the "Cereal and yogurt maker prides itself on culture that "is not flashy or loud or arrogant,"" adding that 2,500 employees have been with the company for 25 years.
Robert W. Baird & Co., a financial firm, and
Brocade Communications Systems, both of which have locally-based employees, also made the list.
