BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - January 22, 2010) - The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) has earned the
distinction of being one of only three firms to be ranked in the top 15 of
FORTUNE's "100 Best Companies to Work For" list for five consecutive years.
An emphasis on employee development, a collaborative culture, extensive
training, and progressive benefits contributed to the strong performance --
the best among consulting firms for the fifth straight year.
Despite the economic downturn, BCG was among those companies on FORTUNE's
2010 list with the best benefits and the highest pay. The firm's benefits
include full coverage of employee health-care premiums, three months of
paid maternity leave, and a bonus deposited in a retirement plan.
"We are delighted to be ranked near the top of FORTUNE's Best Companies
list for the fifth year in a row," said Rich Lesser, BCG's chairman of
North and South America. "Attracting great people and maintaining an
environment in which they rapidly develop and flourish are key to our
success and our ability to deliver enormous value to clients. Honors like
this are a nice acknowledgement that our efforts are highly unusual and,
based on our growth and client retention, effective."
For the past five years, BCG's position on the Best Companies list has
fluctuated between number three and number eleven. The only other companies
to be ranked in the top 15 for five straight years are Wegmans Food Markets
and W.L. Gore & Associates, a manufacturer best known for its Gore-Tex
fabric.
This year's 100 Best Companies list and related stories appear in the
February 8 issue of FORTUNE, available on newsstands on Monday, January 25,
and now at www.fortune.com/bestcompanies.

About FORTUNE's Methodology
To pick the 100 Best Companies, FORTUNE partners with the Great Place to
Work Institute to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate
America. Two-thirds of a company's score is based on the results of the
Institute's Trust Index survey, which is sent to a random sample of
employees from each company. The survey asks questions related to their
attitudes about the management's credibility, job satisfaction, and
camaraderie. The other third of the scoring is based on the company's
responses to the Institute's Culture Audit, which includes detailed
questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended
questions about hiring, communication, and diversity.
