Technology giant Google is the top choice as the \u2018ideal employer\u2019 for\n management and engineering students in India, a survey has found. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the survey conducted by Universum, Google Google topped the list \nof 100 ideal employers for India\u2019s business and commerce, engineering \nand IT, and MBA students, maintaining its position for the past few \nyears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The survey asked questions to 24,000 students from India\u2019s leading \nuniversities about their ideal employer. The findings present a list of \ntop 100 \u201cIdeal Employers\u201d based on their preferences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While most of both engineering and management students look at \nGoogle as their first choice, Microsoft was chosen as the second most \npreferred option as ideal employer by engineer graduates while MBA \nstudents give preference to EY (Ernst & Young). Only government \ncompany to appear in top 10 choices is the State Bank of India, ranked \n10 by MBA students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are top 10 choices as \u2018Ideal Employer\u2019 by MBA students: <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Google <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. EY (Ernst & Young) <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Deloitte<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Apple<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. KPMG<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. Amazon<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Microsoft<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. J.P. Morgan<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. Goldman Sachs<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10. State Bank of India<\/p>\n\n\n\n Top 10 choices as \u2018Ideal Employer\u2019 by engineering students: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Google <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Microsoft<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Apple<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Amazon<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. BMW Group<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. Facebook<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. L&T<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. Infosys<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. Audi<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The survey shows that MBA students favour management & \nconsulting, investment banking, and FMCG industries. MBA students\u2019 \npreferences differed to those of undergraduates, 40% of whom indicated a\n preference for the auditing and accounting industries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Students in India are still highly attracted to international \nemployers, with 46% of all students expressing a desire to work for an \ninternational company when asked. Nine of the top ten most desired \nemployers were international companies. Female business\/commerce and \nengineering\/IT students presented an interesting contrast, however, as a\n higher proportion expressed a desire to work for a national \norganisation, as compared to male students. Companies who can showcase \nworkplace diversity in their employer brand will have a higher success \nrate in securing top female talent, the survey found. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While business and commerce students prioritise an employer who will\n lead them to \u201chigh future earnings\u201d, engineering students prioritise a \nfriendly work environment and innovation as their top two most important\n attributes when assess potential employers, the survey found. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When asked about the communication channels they use to search for \njob and to learn about potential employers, students said social media \nis the preferred medium to access that information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n LinkedIn was the top-ranked channel used by MBA students, whereas \nbusiness\/engineering students listed Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp as\n their top three channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Work\/Life Balance top priority <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In terms of their career goals, \u201cWork\/Life Balance\u201d was chosen by \nmost respondents. This is a changing scenario among Indian students as \nthis is the first time it was chosen as the top option by Indian \nstudents, unlike in almost all other regional and global markets where \nwork\/life balance has sat atop the list of career goals for many years. \nThis could indicate a turning point among talent in India who are \nstarting to see opportunities within their domestic market that are able\n to offer them the careers they dream of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mike Parsons, managing director for Universum APAC said, \u201cOne thing \nthis shift does is bring the career preferences of millennial talent in \nIndia more in line with their regional and international counterparts. \nFor employers who don\u2019t offer much in the way of international \nopportunity, but who do boast flexible working conditions, a dynamic \nculture, or other elements connected with work\/life balance, this could \nhelp elevate their brand. However, this doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019ll get easier \nfor domestic players to compete with international employers for top \ntalent – the hunger to work for non-domestic employers in India is as \nhot as ever.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe shift in career preferences is in-line with economic stability \nand growth that India has seen over the years. This confidence in the \nmarket is further strengthened with the recent election results and as \nIndia prepares for the next chapter of transformation and growth journey\n it is no surprise that Indian graduates\u2019 preferences are getting more \naligned with preferences of graduates in developed economies,\u201d added \nPratik Sabherwal, regional head of advisory for Universum APAC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Source: dnaindia.com Technology giant Google is the top choice as the \u2018ideal employer\u2019 for management and engineering students in India,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":636,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[364],"tags":[765,766,767,212,764,30,143,722,768],"class_list":["post-635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indian-engineering-services","tag-employer","tag-engineering","tag-finds","tag-google","tag-ideal","tag-india","tag-mba","tag-students","tag-survey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=635"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":637,"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635\/revisions\/637"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gurukulgalaxy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
