January 2009
eBay Inc. has been ranked 83rd on the 12th annual "100 Best Companies to Work For" list.
A driving factor for the companies on this year's list is that they excel at creating jobs. Of the 100 companies on the 2009 list, 73 are currently hiring.
In his FORTUNE.com blog, Managing Editor Andy Serwer writes, "No matter what happens with the economy, the demand for talent will remain. Great companies know that super-motivated, happy, world-class employees are an incredible competitive advantage."
To pick the "100 Best Companies to Work For," FORTUNE works with Robert Levering and Milton Moskowitz of the Great Place to Work Institute—a global research and consulting firm with offices in 30 countries—to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America.
"We are delighted to once again be recognized by Fortune as one of America's best places to work," said eBay Inc. President and CEO John Donahoe.
"Across eBay, PayPal and the rest of our company, our talented employees foster our culture because they are passionate about what we do—connect millions of people around the world every day to buy, sell and communicate online. eBay employees exemplify our values every day, and in good times and challenging times that's what makes eBay great."
More than 81,000 employees from 353 companies responded to the 57-question survey created by the Institute.
Two-thirds of a company's score is based on the survey, which is sent to a minimum of 400 randomly selected employees. The remaining third is based on a company's responses to the Culture Audit questionnaire, which asks detailed questions about demographics, pay and benefits, and open-ended questions on philosophy, communication and more.
Any company that is at least seven years old with more the 1,000 U.S. employees is eligible to be included on the list.
