&lt;p&gt;So says &lt;em&gt;Fortune&lt;/em&gt; magazine in its latest ranking of the &quot;100 Best Companies to Work For.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;embeddedObject&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/dloos/folders/Jing/media/74d9f4f3-9b63-49fa-b5e5-5373cf905642/00000141.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;262&quot; height=&quot;212&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;At No. 14, Milwaukee-based Robert W. Baird, widely known as simply Baird, is the 2011 list&#39;s highest-ranking investment bank. (Though Baird ranked No. 11 last year, the honor is definitely one to celebrate, and worthy of at least a few after-work Beast tall boys.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Goldman Sachs, the second-highest-ranked bank, rose one spot to No. 23.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;em&gt;Fortune&lt;/em&gt;, Baird employees &quot;praise the integrity that prevails [t]here. &#39;I have worked with a number of firms,&#39; says one manager, &#39;and Baird [has] the most hard-working, honest, ethical people in our business.&#39;&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Goldman, not known for its ethics as of late, was instead singled out for its &quot;fierce loyalty among its well-paid employees, who this year moved into a new $2.1 billion steel-and-glass tower with a reading room, sky lobby, and 54,000-square-foot gym.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other top-ranking financial services firms on the list include retail brokerage network Edward Jones (the No. 11-ranked firm &quot;which has made diversity a priority with new recruitment programs to bring people of color into a workforce that is 93% white&quot;); Plante &amp;amp; Moran (the 26th-ranked firm and highest-ranked accountancy on the list where &quot;during tax season, employees get &#39;survival kits&#39; with aspirin, stress balls, and candy, and each office throws an &#39;end of tax season&#39; bash&quot;); American Express (ranked No. 49 due to women holding &quot;more than 30% of the top 500 positions [which is] high for financial services&quot;); and Deloitte (the highest-ranking Big Four firm on the list, at No. 63, thanks to &quot;a third of its employees [being] nonwhite, the highest percentage of the Big Four&quot;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Fortune)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Related: A Day in the Life of an Investment Banking Director at Baird)&lt;/p&gt;
