The Googleplex - a dream for many students

The Mountain View company is not only the owner of the best search engine on the Internet but also the most attractive place to work for most of the students from every corner of the world. If you don't believe me, you should because this statement was revealed by a new research conducted by the Swedish firm Universum on more than 8.100 students as Reuters reported. According to the same publication, 17 percent of the students from 100 European universities said that

Google is the best place to work, making the Mountain View company the leader of the top in the detriment of IBM, Porsche and Ferrari.

Last year, the search giant was not even an option in the research but numerous students mentioned that Google should be included in the study. The second place was won by Porsche, the famous German car producer, while the third position was sent to Ferrari, its Italian rival. The last year's leader IBM was relegated on the fourth position while famous brands such as Nokia, Audi and BMW were also included in top ten.

"The 6,700 business students polled put American management consultancies McKinsey and Boston Consulting in first and second places, with French beauty products firm L'Oreal ranked the third most desirable employer," Reuters mentioned.

Google has an impressive image for its company because most of the employees are describing the Googleplex as an incredible place to work with excellent conditions and atmosphere. In addition, every employee can use 20 percent of his work time for individual projects.

At the beginning of the year, Forbes named Google as the best company in the world to work for as it offers the best conditions bundled with attractive salaries. However, the company is now affected by several departures as some of the employees decided to leave Googleplex in order to find another challenge.
