In this study, 20 large tech companies were analyzed, utilizing the large amounts of employee experience reviews available on Glassdoor to get understanding of the topics employees talk about. This was achieved by firstly performing LDA topic modelling on a large corpus of 40.000 company reviews, which revealed 9 corporate topics. These topics were then analyzed in the individual companies using several analyses, including a correspondence analysis, and sentiment analysis. The findings from the analyses contributes with knowledge about the value of information to be found in employee reviews, which may help companies gain insight into the working life and satisfaction of employees.
