According to the publication, perks like bocce courts and a bowling alley - not to mention the free food at its 25 cafes - make Google's employees some of the happiest in the workforce.
The web giants retook the top spot in the magazine's annual list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For after three years in the No. 4 slot.
"My job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities, and that they feel they're having a meaningful impact and are contributing to the good of society," the New York daily News quoted Google CEO Larry Page as telling Fortune.
The company, which has about 2,200 employees in New York, also ranked among the top five companies for new hires, with job growth up 33 percent.
It also offers one of the more unusual worker perks - discounted in-house eyebrow shaping.
Boston Consulting Group, whose consultants earn an average 139,000 dollars a year, kept the No. 2 spot.
Software company SAS, which was cheered by workers for its on-site health care and subsidized childcare, slipped from the top spot to No. 3.
Ten of the companies on the list are headquartered in New York state and include American Express, Teach For America and Goldman Sachs.
