Fortune came out with its list of top 100 companies to work for in the US. FluxCorp didn't make the list, but I'm not complaining. Between the free food, decent gym, and generous pension plan (for high tech) for a small satellite office of 15 people, I'm quite happy. However, it does make me wonder about all the perks at these top 100 companies.Looking at what's on offer at some of the best of the best -- free on-site restaurants, wine bars, compressed work weeks, cheap child-care -- it appears going to work is really just a small step away from a resort vacation. Drop off your kids. Head down to the company restaurant. Grab a latte and sit down with your laptop. Write a few blog posts for your favourite engineering blog. Play a bit of squash at the company gym. Relax in the sauna. Eat lunch. Drink wine. Take a nap. Read some e-mails. Pick up your kids and go home. Sounds great.

I notice no major defense contractors made the list either, with the exception of Booz Allen Hamilton at #85.
