The Fortune annual 100 Best Companies to Work For was released this month. Investment banking giant Goldman Sachs was #1 - engineering consulting firms Burns & McDonnell (#14) and Kimley Horn & Associates (#73) also made the list.
This is great observation from Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfien on what type of individual makes it in their culture:
"You don't have to be the smartest person, but it's probably the highest combination of smart and interesting and interested-in-the-world kind of people."
The engineering consulting community should take notice - hiring for smart, interesting, and interested has long-term competitive advantage (and especially so, per the article, if you can get smart, interesting, and interested for 70-hours per week).
