In the business category, Google has blocked the top rank, followed by KPMG in the second place and Procter & Gamble in the third position.

Also in the engineering category, Google takes the first position for the fourth consecutive year.

"The giants in the software industry are seen as great places for the launch of an engineering or IT career. They offer training, networking and future career possibilities.

Moreover, they are global," Nylander said.
