Fortune magazine’s latest “100 Best Places to Work” list provides more evidence that Oklahoma City has joined the ranks of major-league cities. Repeat appearances on the list by local businesses Devon Energy Corp., Chesapeake Energy Corp. and American Fidelity Assurance Co. put Oklahoma City in line with major headquarters homes such as Houston, with four ranked companies, Seattle with three and Dallas’ two. Devon ranked 20th, Chesapeake was 34th, and American Fidelity 35th.  Oklahoma City was the only metro area that serves as headquarters for three companies ranked in the top 35. New York City led all cities as home to nine companies selected to the Fortune rankings. Fortune compiles the list through a survey sent to random employees seeking feedback on their attitudes towards the management’s credibility, job satisfaction and camaraderie.  The rankings also consider corporate responses to detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring, communications and diversity.
