A sense of purpose and achievement
"People's perspectives on what they want from their careers have changed," explained Uma Sivasubramani.
"It is no longer enough to show them career growth or the chance to work on the latest technologies. Today, people want a sense of purpose and achievement - not just a total rewards package! People today seek out companies that provide employees with opportunities to contribute to society through their impactful work in technology."
