Everybody has a different definition of a good job and a good company. There are some companies, though, that are generally acknowledged to be good to work for. They tend to be known for looking after their staff and offering them a great career. Here are some ways to tell if you are applying to a good company:
- Look them up. Find out about their finances on Companies House and see how long they have been in business.
- Find out about career progression. A good company should offer all-round careers and good options for flexible employment.
- Talk to current members of staff. See if you can ask them honest questions about what it is like to work for the company.
- Find out about their reputation. Read about the company as much as you can and see what their reputation is like with both customers, staff and other people like you.
