A recent survey of IT students in the UK and Ireland has shown that, to them, the most attractive employer is Microsoft, with Sun Microsystems and IBM following closely.
The results of the survey, carried out by Globeroom, indicated a distinct preference for older, more established organisations. The giants of the IT industry are perceived to offer challenging roles and act as perfect springboards for a career.
Although respondents to the survey named large companies as their preferred first step onto the career ladder, they revealed that in the long-term they would be happier to work for a small or medium-sized business.
The 760 IT undergraduates and postgraduates, from the top 20 schools of IT and computer science, were also asked what they wanted most from an employer. Sixty five per cent state that achieving a good work/life balance is higher on their list of considerations than high salaries, flexible working hours or 'intellectual challenge'.
