Over the years I have been with Adobe, the company has been named to many “Best Companies to Work For” lists and we are proud to be recognized for creating a great employee experience, especially since many of these rankings are determined by our employees’ own feedback. When determining a great company to work for, it can be easy to get caught up in the “perks” -- free dry cleaning, unlimited free food, pets under your desk, posh game rooms and free massages to name a few. While we’ve got some great perks at Adobe, those aren’t among them. My dog is super cute but would be a disaster in the office.

我曾經在Adobe公司工作了幾年，這家公司被很多地方列為“最適合工作的公司”。我們為這里公認的能提供很棒的工作經驗而感到自豪，尤其是當得知很多排名都是由我們自己員工的反饋信息所決定的時候。當你想去一個好公司工作時，很容易陷入“特殊待遇”的陷阱中——免費干洗，無限量食物，桌下養寵物，豪華游戲房間以及免費按摩等等。但是我們在Adobe獲得的那些很棒的待遇卻不包含這些內容。我的狗狗非常可愛，但出現在辦公室里卻是一場災難。

The point is, after the novelty fades, perks are just one very small piece of what makes a workplace great and they certainly don’t influence employees to stay, grow and contribute. When looking for a great company to work focus on what makes a great corporate culture, rather than simply looking for elaborate perks.

問題在于，新鮮褪去之后，特殊待遇只是決定工作場所是否完美的一個很小的因素，它不會影響員工的成長和貢獻。當你尋找一個好公司時，與其簡單的看它詳盡的津貼制度，不如探究下是什么造就了良好的企業文化。

Look for these five qualities when looking for your own best place to work:

在你尋找自己的最佳就業公司時，看看這五條特征吧：

1. Market and customer impact.

1.市場和客戶的影響

Ask yourself: Will you have the opportunity to make an impact and will your responsibilities align with the company’s mission and strategy? If yes, this is the best sign of an opportunity with the potential to provide a bright future and personal fulfillment.

問問你自己：你有制造影響的機會嗎?你的職責與公司的使命和戰略相匹配嗎?如果是的話，這將是公司為你提供光明前途、實現個人成就潛在可能機會的最好征兆。

2. Challenge.

2.挑戰

You should never stop learning. If you aren’t feeling slightly overwhelmed with your learning curve, you’re not growing. Your company should provide you with the opportunity to seek out new challenges to accelerate your growth.

你永遠都不應該放棄學習。如果你沒有被自己的學習曲線打擊到，那你就沒有在成長。你的公司應該提供給你尋求新挑戰的機會，來加速你的成長。

3. Respect.

3.尊重

You should feel valued by your manager, team and broader corporate culture – regardless of your gender, ethnicity or background. Look for investments that the company makes in your continuing education, your ability to take time off for family needs and your ability to be your true self each day.

不論性別、種族、背景如何，你應該得到上司、團隊以及更廣泛的企業文化的重視。看看公司在你繼續教育上的投資，你能夠為家庭需要休多少天假，以及你每天是否能做真實的自己。

4. Values.

4.價值觀

Your company’s values should align with your own. Ethical business practices, sustainability and community impact are just a few examples of things that could be important to you. If you don’t see them reflected in your company, you may struggle to feel connected.

公司的價值觀要跟你個人的相匹配。道德的商業行為、可持續性和社會影響只是對你起到重要作用的一些個例。如果這些在你的公司得不到體現，你可能很難融入公司。

5. Mentorship.

5.導師制度

You should have a supportive manager and a network of colleagues who care about your success. This includes giving and receiving honest feedback and enabling you to achieve your professional goals. While it may sound obvious, this is where I see the most frequent gap in employees’ experience across the industry, and it inevitably leads to frustration and departure.

你應該有一個能給予你支持幫助的經理，以及一群關心你能否成功的同事。這包括了給予，收獲真誠的反饋，以及讓你實現職業目標。雖然聽起來沒什么大不了，但這卻是我見過在各行業的員工經歷中最經常缺乏的內容，這不可避免地會導致員工感到挫敗甚至離職。

You probably spend more time at work than you do anywhere else. So your company needs to be the right fit for you and have an environment that brings out your best so you can achieve great things. In the end, the overall employee experience (not the “perks”) is what will bring you joy.

你可能在工作上花費了比其他任何地方都要多的時間，所以你需要找適合自己的公司，這個公司可以讓你最大化地發揮自己的能力，讓你大有作為。最后，全部的工作經驗(不是指“特殊待遇”)將為你帶來快樂。
