Ever wondered which are the most coveted IT workplaces for graduates worldwide? The organisations they aspire to be a part of. Employer branding company Universum recently listed the world’s Top 50 most attractive employers. The global rankings are based on the employer preferences of students from US, Japan, China, Germany, France, UK, Italy, Russia, Spain, Canada and India. Some 120,000 students from the world's top academic institutions were part of the survey to choose their ideal workplace.

Here's over to the 10 most ‘attractive’ IT workplaces for engineering grads.

1. Google

Topping the list of World's 'Most attractive employers' is Internet search giant Google. Started by Stanford University students Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1997, Google continues to attract over 777,000 applicants a year.

One of the worst recession since Great Depression didn't leave Google too untouched. The tough times made the company take a harder line on managing expenses. It pulled the plug on as many as nine of its new products, cut many jobs, and also some of its famous perks, including free food and drinks on the campus. The company has been known for its flexible timings and other perks.

2. Microsoft

At No. 2 on the list is world's top software giant Microsoft. The software giant reigns on more than 90% of the world's desktops through its popular Windows operating system. The company recently introduced a new OS Windows 7. Windows 7 succeeds Microsoft's not-so-popular OS Vista.

Like all its IT peers the company too faced slowdown pangs. In a major restructuring, earlier this year Microsoft announced approximately 5000 job cuts.
