Looking for the right company to work for? Here’s what you should know

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

dream companies where we want to work. But why are you more inclined towards these organisations? Is it simply because of a higher pay structure or because a job here aligns with your career vision?
Let’s assume that you join one such company but later realise that this isn’t the right fit for you. You may wonder how this happened when you had thoroughly checked the company’s background and read employees’ reviews. It can lead to regret.

Hormazd Mistry, CEO of ROI Institute India, which helps companies measure their projects and programmes, says regret often stems from a misalignment of expectations. When early career professionals find that a company's values, work culture or opportunities for growth don't align with their personal goals, they may question their decision to join the organisation. Hence, it's essential to address these concerns through transparent communication. “My experience shows that early career professionals are least likely to quit when their role aligns with their educational background and career aspirations,” he adds.
Employees start getting a feeling of regret when there is a conflict between their personal values and the organisation’s culture, says Yadhu Kishore Nandikolla, Head of Human Resources, MassMutual India. Ascertaining alignment on these during the interview process is of vital importance.

Taking an example from their hiring trends, Nandikolla says they are hiring early career individuals in technology/IT and operations roles. He states that early career professionals are very passionate, curious and willing to learn quickly. They are often very loyal to an organisation, and can be retained for longer if they are trained in cutting-edge technology stack roles.
