Roche and Novartis compare well, which is a fair reflection. Strong employer branding is paramount to attracting the best talent and Glassdoor is now a major source of information for job seekers

Diversity and Inclusion is the latest feature available on Glassdoor.  Whilst it is a new feature, both companies so far have mixed feedback. 

According to a Glassdoor Harris Poll survey, 75% of employees and job seekers report that a diverse workforce is an important factor when evaluating companies and job offers.

Good luck and take care,
