The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated was recognized as one of the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For for the seventh consecutive year, according to Fortune and Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture.

The Cheesecake Factory ranked No. 12 on the list, which recognizes companies with a strong culture, determined in large part by an anonymous employee survey that measures 60 attributes including camaraderie, leadership effectiveness and staff members’ daily experiences of the company’s values.

“The Cheesecake Factory is honored to be named on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For list again this year,” says David Overton, founder, chairman and CEO of The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated. “For more than forty years we have strived to create a very special company with a rich culture, and this award is a wonderful recognition of what our more than 46,000 staff members and managers have helped us create.”
