New Delhi: Google has added another feather to its cap. It has topped the list of world’s best company to work for, for the third consecutive year. Software developer SAS Institute and manufacturing firm W L Gore have been ranked second and third respectively.

Data storage specialist NetApp and mobile communications provider Telefonica have secured the next two places respectively to round out the top five spots.

Others in the top ten include EMC Corporation (6th), Microsoft (7th), BBVA (8th), Monsanto (9th) and American Express (10th). No Indian company however, made it to the coveted list. The list is compiled by research and consulting firm ‘Great Place to Work Institute’. The annual ‘World’s Best Multinational Workplaces List’ ranks the top 25 global companies to work for.

The rest who made it to list are Marriott (11th), Belcorp (12th), Scotiabank (13th), Autodesk (14th), Cisco (15th), Atento (16th), Diageo (17th), Accor (18th), Hyatt (19th), Mars (20th), Cadence (21st), Hilti (22nd), EY (23rd), H&M (24th) and Novo Nordisk (25th).

The analysis involved survey responses from more than half a million employees at the 2015 World’s Best. Qualifying companies must have been selected for at least five national Great Place to Work lists, have at least 5,000 employees worldwide and count at least 40 per cent of their global workforce outside of the company’s home country.
