Analytics India Magazine (AIM) has opened nominations for the third edition of its annual index on the Best Firms In India For Data Scientists To Work For. 

Data science companies or enterprises with data science functions can apply by filling out a survey form. The report looks into the policies and initiatives taken up by organisations to create a conducive work environment for data scientists to learn and grow professionally. 

All organisations are scored using a uniform evaluation criterion. The survey considers each company’s strengths and benefits across five parameters: Learning & Support, Productivity & Engagement, Benefits & Well-being, Rewarding Excellence, and Diversity & Inclusion. Analytics India Magazine will publish the list of 50 best firms based on an in-depth analysis. 

AIM is publishing the ‘Best Firms For Data Scientists To Work For’ index for the third consecutive year. Check last year’s list here. 

The index helps organisations understand where they stand in creating a favourable work environment for their data science professionals. The study details a company’s incentives and people programs such as training and development, benefits and well being, productivity, diversity to help data scientists looking for new opportunities find an ideal match. 

However, the report is not an identifier of one particular metric or standard. It is defined by a set of benefits unique to a firm such as trust in the employees, rewarding good work, and creating a rapport both in and outside of work. The index covers the whole spectrum of employee retention, employee engagement, and overall employee growth.

The final list is arrived at based on this survey, secondary research, and discussions with the participating enterprises.
