MENLO PARK, Calif. -- April 7, 2006 -- For the third consecutive year, SRI International, an independent nonprofit research institute, was ranked as one of the 110 Best Places to Work in the San Francisco Bay Area. The award, given by the Bay Area's business journals, is primarily based on employee satisfaction surveys.
