The Best Places to Launch a Career
This BusinessWeek article, from the purveyors of the “Best of” survey, states that Google was in the top 10 places to launch a career last year, and this year declined to participate. Not to pick on Google specifically, but this illustrates the folly of surveys. A survey that has a company at the top one year, and then does not even list the same company the following year is worthless. Imagine the surveys this year from the employees whose friends in the adjoining cube were laid off. There is no solution to this, except mandating that once a company participates in a “great place to work” type of survey, it must always participate in perpetuity. Hrm, that would keep the corporations a little more honest methinks.
I encourage the reader to think about this: A company being fantastic one year, and the next year it lays off a significant portion of its workforce. The bottom line is: Millenia 3 Worker make sure and take care of number one, yourself, in your career, because chances are the company will not.
