3M, a company that has stood the test of time and has come up with some incredible products due to an in-house culture that encourages out-of-the-box thinking, unlike most (if not all) of the companies I have seen/ experienced “first hand”.
Microsoft and Delll were at nos. 3 and 6 respectively (shock horror, seriously!) and Google at a “lowly” no. 8 with just over 5% of the votes. I guess not everyone they interviewed was smart, eh? 😉
