What makes it so great?
The online shoe retailer makes a big leap from no. 15 to no. 6 this year.

Now part of the Amazon.com family, the company’s quirky, happy culture remains: Employees enjoy free lunches, no-charge vending machines, a full-time life coach on hand, and "create fun and a little weirdness" as one of the company’s guiding tenets.
