2005 Winners Sorted by IT Employee Turnover
For the 12th consecutive year, Computerworld conducted a survey to identify the 100 Best Places to Work for IT professionals.
In November 2004, Computerworld accepted nominations. To qualify to complete the company survey, participating companies, both public and private, had to have 2004 revenue of $250 million or greater and they had to employ a minimum of 500 people in the U.S. and have at least 100 IT employees in the U.S. Participants submitting nominations were asked to provide the name and contact information of an appropriate individual at their company who was familiar with or had access to employment statistics and financial data, as well as information about benefits policies and programs for the IT department and the company as a whole.
