VIENNA, Va. — There is only one credit union that made the FORTUNE 2008 list of "100 Best Companies to Work For"–Navy Federal Credit Union.

Navy Federal ranked 78th on a list that included such companies as Google, SAS, Cisco Systems and Starbucks.

FORTUNE recognized the world's largest credit union for increasing its workforce by 33% over the past two years, and never engaging in subprime lending.

To identify the top 100 companies, FORTUNE works with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct a survey of randomly selected employees. Survey results account for two-thirds of a company's overall score. The remaining one third of the scoring is based on responses to detailed questions about pay and benefits programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring practices, methods of internal communications, training, recognition programs, and diversity initiatives.

The full list and related stories of the "100 Best Companies to Work For" will appear in the February 4 issue of FORTUNE.
