Why do people still cite this ridiculous report? It's had both Walmart and EA in the list. Both companies are about as bad to work for as is possible as a professional in a first world country.

- dagw 16y agoI imagine it depends a lot on what you do. Fortune magazine targets rich manager type people so I'm assuming they mean best companies to work as a highly paid manager. I have no reason to believe that Walmart or EA (the actual EA, not one of their game studios) couldn't be great companies to work for if you're a senior manager in charge of major aspect of the company. If I was a global logistics guy, Walmart might very well be at the top of my list of companies I'd like to work for.
