The annual ranking, which Forbes created in partnership with market research firm Statista, is based primarily on a survey of more than 40,000 people working for Canadian companies and institutions that employ at least 500 individuals. Survey respondents were asked to rate their employer based on a range of criteria, including salary, gender pay-equity, work flexibility, opportunities for promotion and on-the-job training. Participants were also asked if they would recommend their employer to others, and were given the chance to rate other employers in their respective industries.
Hershey Company is #1? Interesting, lets see what job offers they have:
Software Engineer - Manufacturing Systems Physical Demand: Frequently: Sit, stand, walk, crawl, squat/crouch, twist, bend, grasp, lift up to 25 pounds Rarely: Lift/maneuver/move objects weighing 50-100 pounds with a teamlolwut?
Yeah, my old company did this one year. They wanted to make the list, so they encouraged employees to do something [I think it was write in a nomination but I can’t be sure].
Server admin in a DC
That wouldn’t be called a Software Engineer I would think.
What do you think software engineers work on for Hershey? They don’t make chocolate in a cloud factory. Factory automation needs iron moved around, and there you go.
I’m sorry you wouldn’t think so. I’ve seen far sketchier.
All I was saying is that Server Admins in a DC aren’t likely the Software Engineers.
Software engineers at Hershey’s probably run the gamut from embedded programming to web developers. An organization their size requires a lot of software.
Edit: My initial comment was more hostile than I had intended. Sorry.
lmao do you think software developers at oil companies are next to the drill with a giant wrench?
