Serious question. You don't have to state which company you work for. This is more a philosophical question.
To me a company / job has to be much more than just the pay and the responsibilities given to you. Key factors for me are: overall mission of the company, the impact it makes on the world / customers, how it treats its employees in terms of diversity, fairness, compensation, opportunities, empowerment, giving back to community, people you work with, etc.
I've been with my current company for a long time (10+ years), when there were ample opportunities to jump to other companies, I just can't find another company that provides the overall package. I count myself as blessed and lucky in many ways, especially proud that one of the things my company emphasizes is giving back.
They give every employee a full week's (40 hrs) of paid time for volunteering work each year. That could mean spending time mentoring kids, work at food bank, food kitchen, etc. We also have emphasis on hiring military vets, there is a big program for that and I have been able to hire a female army vet (10 years of service) to my team. She brings such great perspective and experience. Also, our ELT team is diverse in age, ethnicity and also gender with 50% being women.
Are you proud of the company you work for? What factors will make you proud?
