Second highest paying is Microsoft, RON10,000 in net amount per month, followed by energy generation company Nuclearelectrica, where the average salary was RON7,700 in 2017, according to ZF’s calculations based on Trade Register data. The salary ranking includes the top 100 companies with the highest personnel spending.
In all, the top ten companies by average salary in 2017 include six IT businesses – Microsoft (RON10,000), Ericsson Telecommunications Romania (RON7,600), IBM (RON7,500), Endava (RON7,400), Oracle (RON7,000) and Softvision (RON6,800).
“The biggest names in the world IT industry are in this ranking and the data confirm the situation on the labor market. These companies hire mainly people with outstanding qualifications, with a lot of expertise and have very high sales volumes,” said Raluca Pirvu, business manager of BPI Group, a management and human resources advisory firm.
“The employees in these companies are mostly white collar, so it is only natural that the average pay would be higher than in the directly productive companies where 80% of the employees are blue collar.”
