Facebook ranked as the best tech company to
work for in 2017 as well as coming in
second among world companies overall, according to a new report from Glassdoor.
The ninth annual list is based on employee reviews posted on the job site from
Nov. 2, 2015 to Oct. 30, 2016.
In 2011 and 2013 Facebook took the number
one spot overall, and was number five
last year. This year, management consultancy Bain and Company returned to the
top spot.The tech industry overall had another good year, since it accounted
for 20 of the top 50 companies in the United States. Apple and Google, along
with Bain, are the only employers to make the list for all nine consecutive
years.
Glassdoor's Allison Berry :
“The
tech industry "really pioneered this whole idea of providing really
fantastic benefits and offering very competitive compensation. It’s been
interesting to see other companies that are outside of the space following
through,"
Berry, looking at the Glassdoor reviews,
pointed to employee frustrations with management and work hours. "As
companies try to scale, you see less transparency. Employees are putting in
longer hours and you might see less work-life balance, and employees aren’t as
confident as career procession," Berry said."We are constantly
working to improve and expand in these areas through initiatives that foster
professional development, support health and well-being, and we are expanding
other benefits such as matching 401(k) contributions in 2017," Brittany
Cornejo, a public relations specialist with Airbnb says.
