These 9 tech firms pay the best entry-level salaries

Introduction

In the following article we are going to see how Present Simple Tense is used. It this specific
article it is used to show some facts and data.

Big tech companies are known for attracting graduates looking for exciting entry-level jobs.
But pay can vary widely, and some employers are not as generous as you might expect.

For those looking to score a big starting salary and bonus, here are the 9 tech firms that
offer the best overall pay deals for their newbie employees.

Compiled by benchmarking website Emolument.com, the list is based on data submitted by

more than 600 employees with less than three years' experience.

The respondents had a range of jobs, including programming, finance, human resources and
marketing. Most submissions came from Europe and the U.S.

1. Amazon: Staff at Amazon (AMZN, Tech30) enjoy the highest salaries and bonuses
by a long way, with the median worker making $109,000 per year and getting a
sweet $22,000 bonus. But the company also has a reputation for having a grueling
and sometimes unforgiving work environment. (Amazon says a New York Times
investigation last year misrepresented its working culture.)
2. Apple: The iPhone maker is the only other company that boasts a six digit median
salary for young workers, at $104,000. Apple's (AAPL, Tech30) $16,000 bonus
pushes the overall pay package to $120,000.

 3. Google: The company often tops lists of the best employers for new grads because
it promises generous job perks, opportunities and salaries.
But some may be surprised that it's not top of the pack for pay. The median salary
works out to $86,000 and the median bonus is $20,000.
4. Cisco Systems: This is another American company with generous starting salaries,
although the bonuses are smaller.
The median salary at Cisco (CSCO, Tech30) is $67,000 while the median bonus is
$1,000.
5. Oracle: Larry Ellison's company is known for offering high salaries but apparently no
bonuses to its junior staff. The median salary at Oracle (ORCL, Tech30) is $67,000.
6. Microsoft: The software giant pays its entry level workers very respectable salaries
and bonuses. The median salary at Microsoft (MSFT, Tech30) is $58,000 and the
median bonus is $9,000. This means it ties with Oracle overall.
7. Telefonica: The Spanish telecoms firm is the first on the list from outside America,
reflecting a big gap between pay at U.S. and European tech companies.
The median salary for entry-level workers at Telefonica is $45,000 and the median
bonus is $4,000.
"Telecom operators pay very respectable starting salaries but don't come close to the
big forward-thinking tech firms in our list," Emolument said.
8. Orange and IBM: Neither company pays bonuses to its junior employees, according
to Emolument. And both Orange (FNCTF) and IBM (IBM, Tech30) pay a median
salary of $48,000.
9. SAP: The German software giant offers a lower salary -- $44,000 -- than Orange
and IBM. But add in a median bonus of $4,000 and that puts it on a par with the
French telecoms firm and Big Blue.
