1. What is the “Vietnam Best IT Companies” (VBIT) award?
ITviec’s “Vietnam Best IT Companies” (VBIT) award recognizes the top IT companies in Vietnam rated by employees as the best places to work. The award is mainly based on employee feedback submitted through ITviec Company Reviews.
2. Why did ITviec create VBIT award?
This award was made for two reasons:
- Recognition and Celebration: VBIT serves as a platform to recognize and celebrate IT companies where employees genuinely love to work.
- A Guiding Force for Improvements: Over the years, the VBIT Winners have been represented as great examples for other IT companies to follow and learn from. They have inspired all IT companies to keep improving their organizational culture, compensation structures and work environments. As a result, the happiness index of IT employees will also go up.
3. How does ITviec determine the Best IT Companies?
ITviec mainly relies on aggregated data from “Company Reviews” page, submitted by employees to determine the VBIT winners.
The VBIT winners are selected based on high scores and comprehensive reviews that provide a detailed insight into the working environment of the company. The selection process involves complex algorithms that consider various factors such as overall rating, detailed rating, review quality, popularity, etc. This makes sure that all the best IT companies are carefully evaluated and recognized.
4. Why do some companies with lower rating & recommendation scores rank higher than others?
The VBIT rankings are not solely based on the average overall rating score but are determined by multiple factors, such as the total number of reviews, the ratio of positive reviews, the consistency and authenticity of feedback, and other confidential criteria that are updated annually to ensure fairness among companies of different sizes and review volumes.
Relying only on the average rating may not fully reflect the quality of a workplace. A company with a high rating but few reviews may not provide a stable representation, whereas a company with a larger number of diverse reviews offers a more accurate reflection of employees’ actual experiences.
ITviec is committed to applying an objective, transparent, and unbiased evaluation method to ensure that VBIT rankings accurately represent the quality of each company’s work environment.
5. How can I get my company listed as a VBIT winner?
Great question!
If your company has reviews on ITviec your company will be considered automatically for VBIT.
Send your employees to our company review page so they can show their passion for working at your company.
6. What are the criteria to be eligible for Best IT Companies?
The most important criterion for eligibility is having at least one approved review on ITviec within the considered year. There are no other mandatory requirements or limitations.
However, to ensure fairness and reflect shifts in the IT market or industry trends, ITviec may consider additional evaluation factors each year. These factors are determined internally and remain confidential to maintain the integrity of the award process.
7. What are the benefits when my company is listed as a VBIT winner?
When your company is on the list, the benefits you can get include:
- Elevate your company’s employer brand within the ITviec community and broader IT talent pool, maximizing both recognition and reach.
- Solidify your company’s standing as a top IT employer by leveraging authentic employee feedback data.
- Partner with ITviec to amplify your voice and engage the IT community through collaborative communication initiatives at no cost.
In 2025, VBIT winners gain access to exclusive opportunities, including free publishing of their achievements on the ITviec Blog and ITviec social media channels.
Additionally, VBIT winners receive privileged access to ITviec’s updated market research and the Annual Report, tailored specifically for them.
8. Employees at my company submitted a lot of reviews, but many were rejected. Why?
Some companies have created fake accounts to submit fake spam reviews and improve their score.
We have an automatic anti-spam algorithm that rejects reviews it determines are likely to be spamming or seeding.
9. Is there a minimum number of reviews on ITviec to be considered for VBIT?
There is no minimum number of reviews required to qualify. As long as your company has approved reviews, it will automatically be included in the VBIT evaluation for that year.
To prevent any attempts at manipulation or dishonesty, ITviec does not disclose data related to an employer’s own reviews or performance, nor does it provide comparisons with other employers, prior to the official announcement of the award list.
10. How can ITviec ensure the fairness of the result for small-scale companies compared with those that have many employees? Is the review number the main factor to be on the list?
The number of reviews is ONE of the many factors for ITviec to determine the VBIT result. While a larger number of approved reviews may improve your visibility, it is not the sole determinant of winning
As mentioned, there is no required minimum number, but we encourage employers to motivate their employees to submit as many authentic reviews that meet our policy as they can. This not only enhances the company’s chances but also contributes to an accurate representation of employee sentiment.
11. VBIT list is shortlisted and ranked into 2 groups: Large Enterprises and Small & Medium Enterprises. Does the company size affect the ranking on the list of “Vietnam Best IT Companies”?
We classify 11,000+ companies into 2 groups based on their sizes: (1) Large Enterprises – companies with more than 300 employees, (2) Small & Medium Enterprises – companies with 300 employees and below.
After that, we apply the method described in Q7. Therefore, the company size does not affect the ranking on the list of “Vietnam Best IT Companies”.
12. My company has a high review rating. Why doesn’t my company appear in Vietnam Best IT Companies?
The Vietnam Best IT Companies list is based on overall ratings, category ratings and quality of ratings.
If most reviews of a company have little detail other than “I love this company, this company is great!” the company is unlikely to win VBIT.
We’ve found that employees who really love a working environment tend to write lots of very specific details about why they love it.
13. My company is famous in the IT market, we are also ITviec’s loyal customer that we paid a lot for job posting on website ITviec.com annum. Why aren’t we listed on VBIT?
The integrity and fairness of VBIT are very important to us.
VBIT is mainly based on employee feedback submitted on ITviec site.
Also, we appreciate your business.
14. Why rating and % recommendation on the list of “Vietnam Best IT Companies” are different from rating and % recommendation in the employers page?
The data for the VBIT list is finalized based on reviews collected up until December 31st of the previous year. Any new reviews submitted after this cut-off date may cause discrepancies between the VBIT list and the current ratings on employer pages.
Starting in 2025, the rating and % recommendation displayed on VBIT Landing page will reflect data from the corresponding award year. For instance, the VBIT 2025 rankings will be based on reviews collected from January 1st to December 31st, 2024.
15. How do I know that reviews on ITviec are real?
Real reviews from real employees are important to us.
All of our reviews are screened by our proprietary algorithm as well as by humans before being posted on our site.
If our awards team suspects companies are tampering with an unbiased review process the company may be excluded from Best IT Companies eligibility.
16. What are the key updates in the VBIT award 2025?
For 2025, we are launching an upgraded VBIT website interface, offering improved visuals and clearer explanations of metrics and data for enhanced user understanding.
Moreover, we are increasing efforts to encourage IT professionals to provide detailed, in-depth reviews, ensuring the evaluation process remains fair, transparent, and balanced.
