- Universum published its World's Most Attractive Employers report on Wednesday.
- This annual report included where global IT students really want to work.
IT students are highly interested in working for Google, based on responses of college and university students from several countries.
IT students are interested in working for Sony, Mercedes-Benz Group, and Goldman Sachs, based on this year's top 20 — part of the World's Most Attractive Employers report — from employer-branding company Universum.
The latest iteration of the World's Most Attractive Employers rankings from Universum is based on student responses from nine economies who are of various college and university grade levels. Three of the economies include Canada, Germany, and the US. Responses were collected between fall 2022 and spring 2023. Students noted the employers that they hope the most to work for.
Google ranked No. 1 on the IT-student list. Siemens ranked No. 20, just like its spot in the 2022 list for IT students. Mercedes-Benz Group and Accenture both moved up six spots. Almost all of the top 10 spots were the same as the 2022 iteration of this ranking.
Below are the top 20 employers among responses from IT students. We included below the industries each employer belongs to, as noted by Universum to Insider.
