Snow in Vancouver in Spring

It is supposed to be Spring now. It is not acting that way. Vancouver has been pretty chilly lately, and today it is snowing. Not just a little. Great big flakes of snow. (view from outside my loft)

Fortune Best Places to Work

Filed under: Deep Thoughts, Time Out — Dick Hardt @ 1:20 pm

I was reading the Feb 4/08 issue of Fortune cover story on 100 best places to work and decided to play with Apple’s Numbers and do some comparisons of tech companies. A couple ratios were interesting, the revenue per employee and the number of applicants per hire, plotted below for your viewing pleasure. Google leads in both. Interesting to see Microsoft trail in diversity, and no surprise, Apple is not in the top 100 companies to work for. (click on the graphic to see a bigger version)
