Microsoft - first in the ranking of the best hi-tech Israel

Friday, 4. October 2019 - 11:41

On Tuesday, business data, analytics, and insights company Dun & Bradstreet Corp. revealed its annual list of the 50 best workplaces in Israeli tech. Microsoft and Taboola nabbed first and second places on the list, dethroning last year’s leaders Google and Facebook. The list was presented at an event held at shared office venture Labs in Tel Aviv in partnership with Calcalist.

“While I’m here on stage as the CEO of Microsoft Israel research and development, I have to admit that the people responsible for our climb to the top of the rankings and for making Microsoft the best company to work for, are actually our wonderful employees and managers. My job is just to listen to them,” Assaf Rappaport said at the event. Rappaport, 36, joined Microsoft in 2015 after the company bought Adallom Inc., the cloud security startup he co-founded and led.

Published for the fifth time, the ranking takes into account factors such as wages and benefits, the career development opportunities and support provided to employees, employment stability, and wellness. “We have engineers all over the world, but there is something unique about the Israeli engineer. You can’t always put your finger on it, but when I request something from my employees in Israel, I know it will happen,” Doron Cohen, chairman and CEO of Dun & Bradstreet Israel, said at the event.
