Stockholm-based research firm Universum released there first annual Global Index of Employer Attractiveness and close to 120,000 students from across the globe weighed in on the companies where they’d most like to work.

Students from a broad range of countries including the U.S., U.K., China, Japan, Canada, Russia, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, and India took the survey. Although clearly a global survey, the Top 10 is dominated by US-based companies.

According to Universum CEO Michal Kalinowski, “There are a lot of companies in other countries that have a global reach but are still perceived as having a national culture, [such as] L’Oréal and Siemens (SI), whereas many American companies are perceived as truly international.”
