In all, the <a href=\"http:\/\/techculture.tmcnet.com\/\">submissions<\/a> are more than 750 pages of typical Microsoft Word Text.<\/p>\n<p>We are about 15-20% complete and have assigned preliminary grades.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest challenge we have had is to determine what not to share with prospective workers. In other words, how do we differentiate between what is a valuable differentiator which will make a submission too voluminous and what is legitimately helpful to a job candidate?<\/p>\n<p>We have gone through submissions from New York, Minnesota, Boston, Silicon Valley, Austin, Houston and Pennsylvania among others.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, it seems the perks and benefits get better, the closer you are to a major city. Tech hubs of course are the most competitive.<\/p>\n<p>Other solid trends we&rsquo;ve seen is the truly competitive companies are really focused on training as well as giving back to their communities. All, really good signs.<\/p>\n<p>We hope to finish these up within about 45-90 days or so at the latest.<\/p>\n<p>We prefer to do this right rather than quickly and with so much content to sift through, we want to be sure we assign our grades as fairly as possible. We&rsquo;ve already had to go back through the submissions numerous times and reevaluate the grading system we have in place because companies continue to outdo one another.<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, it&rsquo;s an amazing thing to see and we can&rsquo;t wait to share the results with you. More to come soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most exciting projects we&rsquo;ve been working on here at TMC is our Tech Culture Awards&hellip; This award program is designed to highlight the best and brightest companies in the market &ndash; the ones who are going the extra mile to make their companies appealing to you.
