The Scientist, magazine of the life sciences, announced today the winners of its 5th annual Best Places to Work in Industry survey. This year's survey yielded responses from representatives of 248 life sciences companies worldwide.
Respondents were asked to assess their working environment according to 45 criteria in eight different categories, including the efficacy of internal communications, quality of the research environment, and opportunities for training and development. Employees at both large and small companies reported that the single most important factor is the feeling of personal satisfaction derived from the job; the most important category of factors was quality of management.
The Scientist's May issue, available in print and online May 1st, features detailed survey results and rankings of the top 15 large (more than 4,000 employees) and 15 small (4,000 employees or less) institutions.
