Most employees working for big companies don't exactly love their job. In fact big companies like Walmart and Afni usually have a low approval rating among their employees. Knowing this, I was surprised when i learned that Facebook, Google and Apple have found themselves in the top ten of the "50 best places to work" list at this years fourth annual Employee Choice awards. It gives me a good feeling to know that the companies that are responsible for many of the advances in technology and social networking are treating their employees well.
Here are some quotes from some happy employees:
On Facebook:
"the toughest job you'll ever love,"
"in general, there is a high level of autonomy given to employees. We're treated like adults and given lots of responsibility. The perks are unreal compared to other places I've worked. The atmosphere is fun yet serious. We're very lucky to work here overall."
On Google:
"you can be proud to tell your mom you work there. Work/life balance is good. Employees are good people to know now and for the future. Work on great products that hundreds of millions or billions of people will use."
On Apple:
"very invigorating,"
"there is always a challenge that you must overcome. The team, management, leadership, and people you meet will be a great asset to you."
All in all i think its great to see big companies doing right by their employees. Work is always going to suck but i think companies will find that if they can make it suck less for their employees they will receive a increase in productivity. As we all know an increase in productivity usually means an increase in profit.
