Hoover’s one of the top 10 best places to work in Austin.

Y’all please pardon me while I toot our own horn.

This makes the third year in a row that Hoover’s has found itself in the Top 10 Best Large Companies to Work For in the annual survey conducted by the Austin Business Journal.

Last year, we were in 7th place; this year, we’re up to 4th place.

Speaking as an eight-year Hoover’s veteran, I can tell you that St. David’s Healthcare, Austin Regional Clinic, and Hilton Austin — the companies that placed ahead of us in the survey — must be doing something seriously right, because Hoover’s is the friendliest and best place I’ve ever worked.

Here’s the whole list:

  1. St. David’s Healthcare.
  2. Austin Regional Clinic.
  3. Hilton Austin.
  4. Hoover’s, baby!
  5. Heart Hospital of Austin.
  6. Wells Fargo.
  7. State Farm Insurance.
  8. Silicon Laboratories.
  9. Dresser Wayne.
  10. Goodwill Industries of Central Texas.

Go, us!

Chris, fg squared considers itself part of your top 10 even though we are not listed. Fortunately my daughter Ava was born @ ST davids.

[...] is nice, to the point that crabby or Machiavellian people never last here. (There’s a reason we rate so high in “best places to work” polls.) So no doubt my perspective is skewed when I consider the tale of “Bob” in this Chris [...]
