Are you using Glassdoor?
Glassdoor now gives job seekers, employees, and employers a deeper level of insight into the employee experience. A host of insight is now available including company ratings, CEO ratings, salary breakdown, and common interview questions.
I ran a company comparison on Glassdoor this morning and found some interesting results:
Ratings (out of 5):
Overall:
Career opportunities
- Roche = 3.7 | Novartis = 3.8
Senior Management
- Roche = 3.5 | Novartis = 3.6
Culture & Values
- Roche = 4.1 | Novartis = 4.2
Diversity & Inclusion
- Roche = 4.2 | Novartis = 4.4
% Recommend to a friend
- Roche = 88% | Novartis = 86%
Average Total Pay for UK:
The salary section for Glassdoor is a bit messy and needs a lot of work at accurately categorising job functions. I could only find 2 positions which could be compared:
Medial Science Liaison
- Roche = £60000 | Novartis = £60000
KAM
- Roche = £70000K | Novartis = £75000
Employee feedback:
Pros
- Roche = Great benefits | Novartis = Work environment
Cons
- Roche = Senior Management | Novartis = Decision making
Featured review:
- Roche = Feel valued | Novartis = Great culture
Vacancies:
Job postings (on Glassdoor):
- Roche = 1067 jobs| Novartis = 1575 jobs
Interviewing
- Roche
- 68% had a positive experience.
- 61% applied online, 9% recruiter, 8% employee referral.
- Difficulty – average 3/5.
- Novartis
- 64% had a positive experience.
- 46% applied online, 15% employee referral, 13% recruiter.
- Difficulty – average 3/5.
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,
