I agree.  I need to be challenged and have the opportunity to grow with each position.

In 2024, another option would be “job security.” Not only do you want all these things, you also want to know that the likelihood is high of your job role still existing during tough times or restructure.

#1 is the work.   If the work isn't interesting and fun, I'm out.   Fun for me thought is different from most people.   I need to fix things, build things, grow things.   Running operations, status quo, not for me no matter what else is offered.

I really think that culture encompasses all the others. If an organization has an employee-centric culture, seeing employees as assets rather than resources, then compensation, work-life balance and flexibility become given.

I agree to a point, I do have experience though of an organization where the culture could be described as 'toxic', however, the C&B and work-life balance was fine. It was still a very difficult place to work.

“Culture, more than products or services, is what differentiates an organization from competitors, both in the minds of customers and of employees.”

Wonder why it’s scoring the lowest here! I definitely focus on this dimension that can make or break a team or company even.

I agree and also find it interesting that culture is scoring so low.  Culture is the foundation for many of the other items on the list.
