Did your employer (or potential employer) make the list of best places to work?

The other day I was talking with sister and mentioned that I has just been interviewed by a writer for Fortune magazine - for a possible future article on the rash of major corporation identity make-overs (I'll keep you posted if anything is actually published). My comment prompted her to remember she had some news about Fortune herself. Valero Energy, for which she is the community relations person in Benicia, CA, was just named the #3 company to work for by the magazine.

For graphic designers, seeking employment in the corporate world, the article The 100 Best Companies to Work For 2006 provides some great insight into such companies. Most are large enough to have an in-house design department or staff designers. You can even check out the entire list for more information about that potential employer - or to see how the firm for which you now work ranks.

The West Coast can claim 24 of the top companies in the United States. Nike is the only Oregon firm making the list.
