The 14 companies business students in Asia and Australia want to work for the most

Global research and advisory firm Universum has released its ranking of the most attractive employers in the APAC region.

Universum surveyed 117,000 business students from the region's nine leading economies - including China, Australia, and New Zealand - and asked them to rank the companies they dream of working for.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Google took the top spot, while other entries like McKinsey & Company are less expected.

Despite not appearing in the same ranking for European students, Apple placed second.

The "Big Four" audit firms - KPMG, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, and PwC - all made the list.
