14 DAY TRIAL // A new study reveals the fact that Google employees are the most optimistic about the company’s future.
Career website Glassdoor has asked employees what they think about the companies their work for and how they see their prospects for the next two quarters.
The study was done across 250,000 companies, but only 38% of the results came out positive.
Google is at the top of the list, with 86 percent of its workforce believing that the company’s business will perform better in the next six month, while the rest of 14 percent expected a stagnating period.
Google has had several promising quarters and just this week their shares have reached the $900 (€702) milestone.
On second place comes Qualcomm, with 76 percent of employees believing that business will improve over the next six months.
Yahoo’s recent efforts since Marissa Mayer took over as CEO have also improved the outlook employees have on the company’s future. 75 percent of the workforce thinks that things are going to get better in the next six months, while 25% think things will stay the same.
Given the changes Mayer has brought to Yahoo and the shopping spree she’s been on in the last few months, as well as the talks about acquiring Tumblr for a whopping $1 billion (€780 million), we tend to agree with the bulk of the company’s employees.
SAP follows in the fourth place, with 73% of employees hoping for an improved business outlook in the next six months.
Amazon takes over the fifth place with 69 percent of employees hopeful about the future.
However, about eight percent aren’t as optimistic and say that they think things are going to get worse, while 23% say everything would be the same.
Earlier this week, Glassdoor has also released data revealing that Facebook employees believe in the company’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, despite the hard year the company faced after the IPO.
