Reputation quotient: 78.97
Led by famed investor Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway has a sterling reputation as one of the most successful companies in the world.
As Buffett's influence grew over the decades, Berkshire Hathaway's annual Q&A meeting in Omaha has morphed into a widely-attended, veritable "carnival" Business Insider's Akin Oyedele reported.
But, within the company itself, it's not all about Buffett. Sam Tucker, a former transportation underwriter at Berkshire Hathaway, wrote on Quora that company strives to live up to this by operating with a "lack of multiple layers of management."
"Another really great part of working there was the level of individual responsibility," Tucker wrote. "That may seem kind of weird, but knowing exactly what is expected of you — and what is not — is quite refreshing compared to many other corporations today."
That's probably why the Oracle of Omaha himself isn't worried about how Berkshire Hathaway will fare when he retires.
"That's for two reasons: the company's assets and its culture," Markets Insider's Jacob Sonenshine reported.
