For the 13th year in a row, Computerworld conducted a survey to identify the 100 Best Places to Work for IT professionals.
Last August, Computerworld started accepting nominations from companies with a headquarters in the U.S. To qualify to complete the survey, participating companies, both public and private, had to have 2005 revenue of $250 million or greater and employ a minimum of 500 total employees and a minimum of 75 IT employees in the U.S.
/computerworld/images/clear.gif
In January 2006, contacts at the nominated companies received a 100-question survey asking about their organizations' average salary and bonus increases, the percentage of IT employees receiving promotions, IT staff turnover rates, training and development opportunities, and the percentage of women and minorities in IT staff and management positions. In addition, information was collected on how the organizations reward outstanding performance, how their retention programs are structured and what benefits they offer, ranging from elder and child care to flextime and tuition reimbursement for college and technology certification courses.
