Top 10 Rankings: No. 7 for benefits
This San Diego company develops, manufactures and markets integrated systems for the analysis of genetic and biological data, and one of the perks of working there is a program through which employees can benefit from that technology. Illumina's Employee Sequencing program offers testing for predisposition to wellness, undiagnosed diseases and cancer. Employees who are diagnosed with cancer are given no-cost access to tests to help understand their tumors at the molecular level. To ensure that staffers have a chance to get away from the office to recharge, Illumina offers 20 days of paid time off, plus two global companywide breaks -- one at at the end of the year and one in midsummer.
