Where Women Want to Work

The Times has recently publicised a list of the top 50 places women want to work. Unfortunately it's more of a farce than an ITV phone-in..

This year there were ~62 entrants. All the winning entries are paid-up clients of recruitment consultancy firm Aurora (about £12k for their services for a year). The sole judges in this competition are recruitment consultancy firm Aurora.

Even better, there's one company in there, McKinsey & Company, that have won this award four years in a row. Every year they've had exactly 1,000 employees according to The Times (you'll note every other company gives a very exact figure). Can you guess how many employees one needs to be considered for this award?

Further, if one checks McKinsey & Company's reports, press statements, website...and so on - you'll note they have somewhere between 600 and 750 employees according to all their literature.

Nice :)

There's a bit more info and supporting documentation - albeit full of someone's opinions - over on Wikileaks (which, you may have seen, also recently posted a leak of the MoD's 'How To Stop Leaks' document).
