Year after year Universum has been asking students what they look for in an employer, and which companies they hope hire them. Universum just published these results as part of its 13th annual World’s Most Attractive Employers report.The report from the employer branding agency gives employers a sense of where students are interested in working and what they look for in an ideal employer.
Universum surveyed over 84,000 engineering students about who their top five employers they’re interested in working for. The survey for the World’s Most Attractive Employer ranking was collected over several months, from September 2020 to May 2021.
This year, Universum decided to split engineering and IT into two different rankings. Students surveyed are from 10 of the world’s biggest economies, and Universum weighted the results by their GDP. Universum notes “To be considered, companies must rank in the top 90% among the most attractive employers.”
Engineering students also said, per Universum’s latest report, that right behind high future earnings they are looking for innovative employers.
The above ranking and industry categories were shared with Insider from Universum. This year’s ranking is available on Universum here, along with the business and IT rankings.
