Common points between the main companies and surprising results
Zhao told TechRepublic that while every company is different, they see some commonalities in the companies named Best Places to Work in 2024. “These include flexibility, transparency, and opportunities for career advancement. Employees at NVIDIA, ServiceNow and VMware, in particular, often comment on the company's benefits, innovative products and strong company culture,” he said.
