The Best Companies study sets out to identify and recognise the best employers and most satisfied employees in Ireland. It’s the views of the employees that count when deciding if a company will make the Irish top 50 list. As such, a random selection of employees in Microsoft Ireland were asked to complete a confidential questionnaire, rating Microsoft on almost 60 elements, covering credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie.
