Survey ranks most-desired employers

Daily Staff

Google is the most desired employer in the world, according to a survey by Universum released Sept. 29.

The survey of 160,000 career seekers from the world’s 12 largest economies measures the most desired companies for business and engineering. Google reigns supreme over both lists.

A trend from this year: the two are merging. Major tech players are moving up the business list, notably Apple, which jumped nine spots to number nine. 

The most attractive companies are the ones that offer a good work/life balance and opportunities for personal development, according to Universum. 

The top 10 most desired employers for business:

1. Google

2. KPMG

3. PwC

4. Ernst and Young

5. Deloitte

6. Microsoft

7. Proctor and Gamble

8. JP Morgan

9. Apple

10. Goldman Sachs
