  • Universum released its rankings of the World's Most Attractive Employers.
  • The lists are based on global student responses about the companies they ideally want to work for.

Google remains the place that engineering students are most excited to work for.

Employer branding expert Universum released its annual rankings of the World's Most Attractive Employers, which includes a list of the companies engineering students really hope to land a position at.

Universum told Insider that being an attractive employer "means that you are consistently seen by students around the world as one of their top dream employers."

To find the employers students from around the world are highly interested in, Universum looked at the "top nine and most significant graduate hiring countries for multinational employers: USA, China, Germany, UK, France, India, Italy, Brazil, Canada. To be considered, companies must be among the top 90% of brands listed in at least four of the nine countries." Students were asked to "choose the five employers you most want to work for." There were roughly 70,000 engineering student responses used for the ranking.

A few automotive companies placed high on the list, including Volkswagen Group and BMW Group.

The following are the most attractive employers for engineering students. We included below how their placement compares to where they ranked in 2021, although that ranking is slightly different as it included Russia, which this year's ranking does not.
