MBA students’ favorite employer: Google has dominated the competition for five consecutive years. The Alberta Times: Where do American business school graduates like to work? Of course Google! According to research firm Universum, Google has consistently ranked first among the top 100 employers hiring MBAs over the past five years. "CNN Money" reported that Universum regional manager Hassel Strom said that overall, the most ideal employers this year are companies that can provide a challenging work environment and have long since emerged from the haze of the global financial crisis. In addition, this year's MBA graduates are more interested in positions in technology and engineering companies, and most of them are unwilling to go to financial institutions. Beneath Google, Apple climbed two spots to No. 3 this year, with an outstanding new company cracking the top 10 this year. Hasselstrom said that Facebook ranked 7th, which is a very high ranking for a new company. The reason is that graduates think that challenging jobs and prestigious companies are very important. He also said that the career goal of this year's MBA students is to have intellectually competitive jobs. Last year, what they asked for was a work-life balance. Job security and opportunity are also important for recent graduates during the post-recession recovery. Jobs at traditional consulting firms such as McKinsey (at No. 2) are also highly sought-after because they offer extensive training opportunities and can serve as a springboard to a long and rewarding career. "After the recession caused by the global financial crisis, banks and financial institutions overall have become less attractive. Their rankings have also dropped a lot," Hasselstrom pointed out. Although banks' rankings have dropped this year, stalwarts such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley remain in the top 15. Here are the top ten favorite employers selected by MBA students this year: 1. Google 2. McKinsey & Company 3. Apple 4. Goldman Sachs Group 5. The Boston Consulting Group 6. Bain & Company 7. Facebook 8. Amazon.com 9. J.P. Morgan Morgan 10. Nike
