GENEVA, April 26 (Xinhua) -- Swiss International Air Lines has been ranked the most attractive employer among Switzerland's 150 largest companies, followed by Zurich Airport and watchmaker Patek Philippe, according to a survey released Thursday.
Published by Dutch recruitment agency Randstad, the survey asked 4,800 people aged 18 to 65 where they would like to work. The study took 16 criteria into account, including work environment, salary, job security, work-life balance, and flexibility.
The aviation sector claimed three of the top ten spots, while the watch industry took another three, including Rolex and Swatch. Rounding out the rest of the top ten were brand names such as Victorinox, Nestle, Lindt, and Swiss Federal Railways.
Last year, as well as two other times in recent years, Internet giant Google topped the list. However, it was dropped from the survey this year as Randstad does not allow a company to win more than three times within five years.
Randstad has been measuring society's perception of companies in Switzerland since 2014. The survey is now conducted in 30 countries and takes into account employees at 6,000 companies.
