Methodology
We derived an overall index to determine the rankings of AIM’s
best firms for data scientists to work for. AIM listed five
parameters to compute the ranking of 50 firms — Learning & Learning & Benefits &
Support, Productivity & Engagement, Benefits & Well-being, Support Well-being
Rewarding Excellence and Diversity & Inclusion. The overall index
was calculated using the average score of five sub-indices
(based on the parameters mentioned above). The sub-indices
themselves were calculated based on the scores given to the
answers (of the survey questions) asked by AIM. These scores
were normalized on a scale from 0 to 1 before the average for the Best Firms For
sub-indices was taken. Data Scientists To

Trends
Greater Emphasis on Learning Platforms: 100% of top-performing firms already provide access to
1 learning platforms for their employees. Considering this and the rapid pace of technological changes, we
can expect an upward trend, with more firms prioritizing continuous learning and development
opportunities for their data scientists.
Investment in Cutting-Edge Technology: Currently, 57% of top performers are investing in cutting-
2 edge technology, such as high-performance GPUs. As data science becomes more complex and
compute-intensive, we can expect an increasing number of firms to invest in advanced infrastructure to
support their data scientists.
Increasing Focus on Diversity and Inclusion: The report shows 35% of women in senior leadership
3 roles in top-performing firms and a 51% representation of women in data science teams. As diversity and
inclusion continue to be a major focus, these numbers are likely to increase in the coming years,
fostering more diverse and inclusive workplaces.
4 recognition programs in place. As companies strive to foster a positive work culture and employee
engagement, we may see an increase in firms implementing similar recognition initiatives.
5 functional collaboration. This trend is expected to rise as more firms recognize the benefits of
interdisciplinary cooperation and the innovation it can bring.
