In Glassdoor’s fourth annual Employees’ Choice Awards, which recognize the 50 Best Places to Work for 2012, Bain & Company, McKinsey & Company, Facebook, MITRE and Google take the top five spots. More than 250,000 employees sounded off on what it’s like to work at more than 65,000 companies during the past year and shared the good, the bad and everything in between.
Unlike other workplace awards, there is no self-nomination process. Instead, it’s all about what the employees have to say when it comes to their satisfaction with workplace factors like compensation & benefits, work-life balance and career advancement opportunities. Not to mention, the awards also take into account how well employees feel their CEO is leading the company.
Here’s what some employees are saying at some of the top companies:
“More variety in staffing than at peers, always being pushed to the next level, strong friendships and mentorships across all levels of the organization, management works very hard to address issues.” – Bain & Company Senior Associate Consultant (Chicago, IL)
“Great visibility to clients and senior leadership. Strong brand name & great compensation/benefits.” – McKinsey & Company Engagement Manager (Jersey City, NJ)
“Smartest and most passionate people I have ever worked with. Company means so much to so many – humbled to be an employee here.” – Facebook Staffing (New York, NY)
