Google has placed fourth in Forbes Magazine’s ranking of the Best Places to Work 2010. That’s the same place the company ranked in the 2009 list. In explaining “what makes it so great,” Forbes says:

The search engine king is hiring again: Google plans to add thousands of employees to its payroll in 2010. Though a few perks have been cut in recent years, Google engineers still get to devote 20% of their time to projects of their choosing.

Google ranked number one on the Forbes list in both 2007 and 2008.

Microsoft placed 51st in this year’s survey.
