Google's famous employee perks, from providing "nap pods" for a quick break during the day to allowing engineers to spend 20 percent of their work time on side projects that may spark new ideas, have given the Internet leader the best reputation in corporate America, according to a study released Monday, by Harris Interactive Reputation Quotient.
Largely for its reputation for treating workers well, Google claimed the No. 1 spot from Microsoft Corp, which fell to 10th place. "The ratings they get focus on how they treat their employees, their workplace environment," said Robert Fronk, senior vice president at Rochester, New York-based Harris. "They absolutely get tremendous credit for the social responsibility, which for them is also linked with their vision and leadership." Google's famous mantra is "don't be evil."
