Best Places To Work goes Germany

For the first time, Glassdoor has honored the 10 best employers of the year in Germany. The companies on the list received the Glassdoor award for employee satisfaction. What is special about this ranking? The list is based solely on the voluntary and anonymous Feedback from those who know their employer best: the employees.

As a result, companies cannot nominate themselves. Only ratings that were published on the platform in the last year serve as the basis for the evaluation. For Germany, more than 12.000 reviews met the criteria. As “Best Places To Work” known, the award has been presented in other countries, such as in the home of Glassdoor (USA), for up to eight years.

Southern Germany to the north and Berlin

Accordingly, it is not surprising that most of the most popular employers come from the south of the republic, which is dominant in this economic sector, and not from hip Berlin. Eight out of ten companies on the list are located either in Bavaria or Baden-Württemberg. The international Consulting Accenture in seventh place is the only foreign employer in this year's top 10.

If one compares the results for Germany with those from the Anglo-American area, clearthat technology companies are much more popular there than classic industrial groups. In the USA and Great Britain, last year's winner Google (2016: eighth place each) was replaced at the top, but the new number one in the United States is Airbnb and in Great Britain Expedia.

The methodology: How employees evaluate companies

When an employee submits a company review on Glassdoor, he or she is asked to share the pros and cons of working for that company. Additionally, the employee is encouraged to give advice to management and asked how satisfied he or she is generally with the employer.

It is possible to rate the CEO as well as five key attributes of the workplace: the career opportunities, compensation and benefits, culture and values, the Executives and work-life balance. Employees are also asked if they would recommend their employer to a friend and how they rate the business outlook for the next six months.

This is how the winners are determined

Winners were determined by Glassdoor's proprietary algorithm and based on reviews employees have shared with the community on the platform over the past year. The rating is based on a 5-point scale: 1,51 to 2,50 = dissatisfied, 2,51 to 3,50 = in Order, 3,51 to 4,00 = satisfied, 4,01 to 5,00 = very satisfied.

Only companies that have received at least 20 public ratings, an employer rating of at least 3,00, and workplace ratings of at least 2,50 during the nomination period (3 November 2014 to 1 November 2015) have been considered. In doing so, evaluations by trainees were not included in the overall evaluation. For reasons of clarity, the evaluations for the respective employers were specified exactly one decimal place. However, in calculating the rank order, these values ​​were taken into account to one thousandths. All evaluations are voluntary and without prior request. Therefore, no estimates for a theoretical sampling can be calculated.
