Using one million employee reviews, we show that ownership is related to employee satisfaction, with VC-backing being the most significant effect. Employee satisfaction is abnormally high in the presence of a VC and decreases when the VC exits. Textual analysis of reviews shows that VC-backed employees enjoy the supportive culture, and Human Resource policies, but complain about their compensation and the challenging work environment.
