Family-friendly policies allow employees to balance work and family. The company was one of the first recipients of the Sloan Award for Excellence in Workplace Flexibility.<br/><br/>When it outperforms its peers, TI aims to out-pay its competitors.

There are no bonuses or employee ownership. But the company proudly points out that the ratio between top and bottom earners is very narrow. The CEO makes only 12 times what the lowest-paid worker earns. </div></div><div class="title"><div class="msgheader">QUOTE:</div><div class="msgborder"><div class="title"><strong>Yahoo </strong></div><div class="title"><img height="255" alt="Yahoo" src="http://i2.cdn.turner.com/money/.element/img/1.0/sections/mag/fortune/bestcompanies/2008/snapshots/yahoo.jpg" width="340"/></div><div class="text"><div style="FONT: bold 14px Arial;">Average total pay: $116,250</div><b>For:</b> Technical Yahoo*<br/><br/><b>Best Companies rank: <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/bestcompanies/2008/snapshots/87.html"><font color="#003399">87</font></a></b><br/><br/>Fun is a core value at this 12-year-old Internet portal visited by 500 million people across the world each month.
