    To me type doesn’t matter. What I value is the how the company operates, its core values, and if they will value me as an employee. I’m currently working a J&J. I really like the company because it operates in a way that allows me to feel like I work for a good company. WE try to hold ourselves to a high standard and make sure that we are putting the best product on the market. Now if a company was shady and was cutting corners wherever it could then I would be much less inclined to work there. That ties into my second point of the company’s values. It is important to me that the company that I work for aligns with my values as a person. I want to know that the company I work for is working to support the less fortunate in both the local communities and around the world. J&J has many different internal programs for these sorts of things. They have paid volunteer days as well as donation matching and outreach programs in local communities. They also do work around the world to help people in some of the poorer areas. Finally I need to feel like I am valued by the company. This takes many forms, with the obvious one being am I being paid an amount that matches the value I bring, but other things like to they have a reasonable amount of vacation time, do they allow for flexible hours. In the end it comes down to do they see me as a person who helps the company work or do they just seem me as a number on a spreadsheet.
