Based on more than 21,561 employer evaluations, reflecting the opinions of approximately 5,732 MBA students, Universum – Americas, presents the 2010 US MBA Top IDEALTM Employers.
Philadelphia, PA, May 26, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Universum – Americas, announced today the results of its annual MBA employer image survey, also known as the IDEALTM Employer Survey.
Based on the frequency of being selected as an IDEALTM employer, Universum produces an IDEALTM employer ranking, dubbed the Universum Top 100. The rankings reflect the level of employer attractiveness that companies or organizations have on the recruitment market, and consequently the strength of their employer brands.
Google takes the first position for the fourth year in a row as Bain & Company drops to number 6 from number 3 in 2009, Goldman Sachs moves up to number 3, followed by The Boston Consulting Group, who also increases in the rankings. In turn, 3 investment banks made the top 15 IDEALTM Employer’s among MBA students nationwide.
"Being a part of the rebuilding of the investment banking industry is really appealing," said Camille Kelly, Vice President of Employer Branding at Universum. "The opportunity to work at a company when it's on the road to recovery is a great chance to make an impact at your first job out of school."
