- Universum released the latest ranking of where global tech students most want to work for.
- The top seven companies didn't budge from last year's ranking.
- Universum found IT students are very interested in working for Google.
Some college students think it would be great to work for Google, Samsung, or Oracle one day.
Universum, an employer branding specialist, shared with Business Insider the results of its World's Most Attractive Employers rankings.
The global rankings used feedback from over 100,000 students across nine countries, including thousands of IT students, asking them to list up to five of their ideal employers. Survey periods varied among the nine countries but all were taken between September 2023 and May 2024.
"We asked these groups of future talent to provide insights into the company characteristics they find most attractive in a potential employer, as well as who they perceive to be their ideal employer," Universum said.
Many tech students want to get hired at Google, Microsoft, and Apple based on how highly these three ranked on the list. All of the top seven were the same companies ranked in that order last year. Sony ranked No. 7, and Amazon ranked No. 4. Google, the No. 1 company for IT students, also ranked No. 1 among engineering students.
Below are the top 15 companies that IT students from different countries said they really want to work for.
