Dreaming to work in a foreign company

Summary of survey results:

According to the survey, 28% of the working residents of Russia would prefer to work for a foreign company. Of this group, 30% of the respondents under 30 expressed a desire to work for a foreign company to gain “good work experience” and practice using a foreign language. According to respondents, foreign companies maintain better discipline and their employees have “fixed benefit security, private insurance and career growth.” For all these perceived benefits, survey participants showed a willingness to turn a blind eye to “long and demanding working hours.” According to the survey results, respondents with higher salaries are better informed about the benefits of working in foreign companies: the desire to work for foreigners grows in direct proportion to the level of income.

One in four respondents (25%) reported a preference to work for a Russian company, mainly women (29% versus 22% of men). Participants earning less than 15,000 rubles ($517) a month (39%) expressed a stronger overall desire casino jameshallison to work for Russian companies. These preferences can be explained by peculiarities of mentality and habit as well as negative experiences casino online working in foreign companies. Respondents disinclined to work for foreign companies commented with “I am a patriot!” or “I’m not satisfied with the corporate culture of many foreign companies.” It should be noted that the number of people wishing to work in Russian companies has declined over the past three years from 33% in 2007 to 25% at present.

41% of respondents admitted that the national origin of the company is not so important for them. Much more important were factors such as “working conditions,” “a good team,” and, of course, “reasonable remuneration.” More male respondents (46%) hold this point of view than women (36%). The belief that the national origin of the employer is not a major factor in a successful career increases with the age of the respondents and their income.

Among the survey respondents, 6% had difficulty stating their views because they had only worked with Russian companies and couldn”t make comparisons in the experience between working for a foreign company and a Russian one.
