Top 50 Indian Companies to work for 2010

Google has taken the numero uno position when it comes to the best companies in India to work for. The survey released jointly by Great place to Work Institute & Economic Times puts Google as the most preferred company for employment.

According to the report, a company that provides its Employees with greater work life balance have been given thumbs up by the employees. In the top 25 more than 88% of the employees agreed to the statement:

“I am able to take time off from work when I think it’s necessary.”

The findings are based on interviews with more than 53000 employees and 395 companies across the country. If we compare India with rest of the world, India trails companies in European Union (EU) & USA where 93 & 92 percent employees have more positive rating.

When we covered the same survey in 2008, Google was placed in 3rd position, while Indian bread RMSI Pvt. Ltd. was top company to work for in India.

In 2010 list of Great places to work, 3 out of top 5 companies are Multinationals while 4 of them are technology companies.

Generally, the list suggests that Technology / IT companies offer better working environment and work life balance to its employees, as majority of them are tech oriented companies.

What is surprising though is that none of the top 5 Indian software companies make the cut in the top 50 companies. No mention of Infosys, TCS, Wipro or Tech-Mahindra.
