The Boston Globe disclosed today its second annual ranking of 100 top local places to work, and number one on the the list is Comcast. (To read a list of 10 top companies, please click here.)

In developing the list, the Globe teamed up with Workplace Dynamics, a research firm, to survey 86,000 employees at 269 companies. The survey measured employers according to such factors as direction, execution, managers, career, conditions, and pay and benefits.

"The Globe 100's Top Places to Work magazine draws a portrait of organizations that found ways, both big and small, to treat their employees right," Globe business editor Shirley Leung said in a statement. "The best employers know that loyalty is forged during difficult times."

Full survey results will be published in a special magazine supplement to the Nov. 8 editions of The Boston Sunday Globe. Information will also be available at www.boston.com/topworkplaces.
