Quick Summary

Brazil's top employers were ranked in the latest list of Best Employers by TIME and Statista, with 900,000 employee evaluations from various sectors considered. Microsoft took the top spot for the second year in a row, followed by three other U.S. tech companies: SAP, Alphabet, and IBM. The government's policies offering tax breaks and clean energy have made Brazil attractive to global tech companies, but some critics argue this undermines domestic tech solutions. Contabilizei, an accounting firm, was the top-ranked Brazilian employer at number 5.

Narrative

De fato, o governo, junto com os maiores bancos do Brasil, vem moldando o setor de tecnologia no país na última década ao gastar bilhões em serviços digitais, como licenciamento de software e cibersegurança, de empresas estrangeiras, de acordo com um estudo de 2025 conduzido por pesquisadores da Universidade de São Paulo, da Universidade de Brasília e da Fundação Getúlio Vargas — uma medida que, segundo alguns críticos, compromete a soberania tecnológica do Brasil e desvia investimentos de soluções nacionais.
