Law firms Alston & Bird, Arnold & Porter, Nixon Peabody, Perkins Coie and Bingham McCutchen are among the best employers according to Fortune magazine’s 2007 list of the best 100 employers to work for. The same five were on last year’s list, but another from last year was missing this time – Morrison & Foerster, the only California-based firm to make the 2006 list, dropped off the chart. Making the list is cause for celebration for the selected firms because it is so important “from a recruiting and internal point of view” says Bingham’s chairman, Jay Zimmerman. To create the top 100 list, the Great Place to Work Institute collects nominations and invites companies to participate. It then narrows down the list and sends out surveys to randomly selected employees. Factors such as compensation, benefits, and diversity are also taken into consideration.
