A Chinese recruitment website has released a survey of over 200,000 university students, asking them to choose the companies where they would like to work. Technology companies are well represented, so we thought we’d take a look at the top employers in each of the following sectors: online entertainment, Internet/e-commerce, computer hardware/software, and telecommunications.
Chinese Gaming Giants Beat out SNS
In online entertainment we have gaming companies Shanda and Giant topping the list (see table below), with video site Youku taking the third spot. Social networks Renren and Kaixin are in here as well, as is Facebook, perhaps the most surprisingly company listed considering that it doesn’t yet have a China presence.
Alibaba most attractive Internet company
In the Internet and e-commerce space, Alibaba stole the top spot from search giants Baidu and Google. Alibaba was, in fact, the third-placed company out of all employers in China, not just those in the technology sector.
It’s interesting to note that students still see Google as a desirable place to work despite the many troubles that the company has had in China over the past few years.
