A company is a vague word. Many people choose a company at the level of "good company or bad company, but in fact, there are often a dozen factors behind the good and the bad to support a company. If you do not understand the factors behind this, it is difficult to determine whether a company is suitable for you simply based on a general good or bad situation.

If a person wants to select the right company, he must have the right to choose. You can review your company from a wide range of perspectives. Here we will mainly list several closely related to career development.

 

LPerspective of division of labor

Even if we do not make a very detailed investigation, we can see the three-tier structure behind iPhone production: apple + Foxconn + component suppliers. One of the fundamental characteristics of this chain is that there are few upstream enterprises, but the shared profits are higher. Of course, they are at a greater risk of innovation. The position of an enterprise is an important dimension that affects personal work and development.

In a commercial society, the position of a company can be easily understood: A company with many chips has a higher right of control and a higher right of voice. Specifically, the payment is at the top, and the money is at the bottom. For example, if company a subcontract the business to Company B, Company A is at the top of the food chain, and Company B is at the bottom. Monopolized or similar to monopolized at the top, monopolized at the bottom. For example, Company G directly targets customers and shares 60% of the market share. If other companies share 40% of the market share, G is at the top and other companies are at the bottom. From the perspective of division of labor, the closer a company is located, the thinner its profit margin.

There are many other scenarios related to such division of labor, such: the parent company and its subsidiaries, the package-issuing and packet-receiving companies, the operating system and the hardware manufacturer which must specify the operating system, the e-commerce platform and various product manufacturers.

From the perspective of selecting a company, we should consider the upstream companies as much as possible, because the location of the division of labor has a great impact on the growth space and income.

 

LIndustry perspective

From this perspective, companies are often divided into telecommunications, finance, Internet, ERP, games, and embedded systems. It is difficult to say that the industry has an absolute advantage over the other industry, but there are two points to note:

First, software is not the company's main business, which often imposes certain restrictions on the development space. Software is also used in manufacturing factories, but it is unlikely that programmers in financial companies can choose a few who are used as directors of software.

On the other hand, some sub-industries are in a mature stage with relatively smooth development, while some sub-industries are in a period of rapid development. The latter has more opportunities, especially in new areas. This is because there is no established interest pattern in the new field and everyone is on the same starting line. Of course, too many opportunities also mean a great risk.

From the perspective of selecting a company, it is undoubtedly necessary to select a company that focuses on software and rapidly develops its sub-industry. The reason for choosing an industry is very important. The root cause is that once you select that industry, you will probably do it all your life. It is difficult for financial users to implement the Internet, and for Internet users to implement embedded systems.

 

LTimeline View

From the perspective of life cycle, the company can be divided into developing companies, mature companies and recession companies.

From the perspective of choosing a company, we strongly want to avoid a company in a recession. The simplest way to identify a company in a recession is to analyze financial data and market position. Companies that have already run a deficit or whose market position is already on the back are relatively dangerous.

The companies that choose the development period should choose mature companies, depending on personal choices. Generally, a large company with a high market position will have a better choice for technical accumulation.

 

LCore Competitiveness

Some companies prefer sales channels for their core competitiveness, while others focus on technology, while others focus on both.

For example, it is important for the sales channels of the information management system. From this perspective, companies with core competencies are always better than those. In companies with core competencies, technology-oriented companies are undoubtedly more suitable for programmers. In non-technical companies, the technical path is usually short. For example, the technical path of a company that only uses information management systems is generally not long enough.

 

LRegion perspective

From this perspective, we can divide the company into first-tier cities and second-tier cities.

The main impact of a region on the mobility scope is that in the second-tier cities, there are very few options for companies that do not change industries. If your company declines or even goes bankrupt, some of your experience will go to zero if you change the industry or direction, and you can continue to stay in the original direction without a company.

In addition, when a person chooses a company's city, for most people, the correlation with the city will become higher and higher with the passage of time (this is reflected in schools, houses, cultural backgrounds, and other aspects). Therefore, it is necessary to conduct an appropriate investigation on this issue.

In general, the more we expect rapid development, the more we hope to create a career, the more confident we are, the more suitable we are for the development of first-tier cities, the more you focus on the balance between life and work, the more suitable the second-tier cities are.

 

LCompany culture perspective

If you read management-related books, such as "Evergreen" and "win", you will find that the company's culture is placed in a very high position. An extremely good and surviving Organization undoubtedly requires a common value orientation to suppress the luck, but this is a little far from reality. In reality, many companies are more likely to be driven by rules and individuals, without any obvious cultural characteristics.

It is hard to say that enterprise culture will succeed, but if we interpret culture from the negative, there will be a culture that will almost lead to the suspension of the company. A typical feature of this kind of company is that everyone is fooling around with their work, so they can push things at work. Such companies will almost certainly be destroyed quickly, unless there are some monopolistic factors that can ensure their survival.
