Facebook Offers Better Jobs than Google
Glassdoor, company which collects information about employees in different companies anonymously and voluntarily, presented a report saying that people working in Facebook are not only paid more but also the social network offers a better work environment.
Here’s the rating for most important companies salaries in the software engineer category:
Google offers an average annual salary of $98K and Facebook for the same jobs is giving $110K, making this the most important salary around all companies; Cisco, Yahoo and Apple appears right after Facebook.
But that’s not all, work climate is an important factor in every job; and Facebook makes a difference in this area as well.
Based upon a 5-point scale, Facebook scores 4.6 as the top company in work environment; Google appears third with 3.9 (AOL and Apple appear fourth and fifth). And, surprisingly or not, HP offers the “worst” work climate raked with 2.7.
We’ve seen earlier how Steve Jobs took a little time to elaborate short responses about, sometimes, important issues. This time, the problem is regarding about iOS 4 which had a big presentation with iPhone 4; but apparently Apple didn’t realized that this OS has several and important performance issues on 3G devices.
It’s a well-known fact that employers tend to Google prospective job candidates’ names before they hire them. This is in an effort to weed out people who they may no want affiliated with their company. For instance, say you tweet all the time about how you’re out getting wasted and you’re hung-over every Monday. Do you think you’ll get the job then? No. So many professionally (especially web workers) are pimping out their online presence to make themselves look better. One of the most basic ways to do this is to spice up you blog and combine it with other areas of your social media.
