Top 100 companies to work for in Kenya

Upon completion of university education, graduates often look forward to working for the best companies in the region probably based on hearsay or how they perceive the said companies.

On Tuesday, BrighterMonday (BM) released a list of Top 100 companies to work for in Kenya and the study was informed by current, former and prospective employees on both intrinsic and extrinsic factors they consider important.

The survey was sent to over 800,000 users of BM and a total of 3,448 valid responses were used in the final analysis with data from two surveys – external and internal.

According to the company, the external survey targeted the general public while the internal survey focused on employees working at numerous companies in Kenya.

Majority of the respondents were aged between 25-35 and 18-24, live in Nairobi and hold a Bachelor’s degree.
