Google is the company Singaporean job seekers most want to work for, according to a study by Jobstreet.com.

From an online survey of 1,265 Singapore-based graduates and executives of varying degrees of seniority, the media and tech giant emerged ahead of Apple and Singapore Airlines as the place of work Singaporeans dream of the most.

Google’s big digital media rival Facebook ranked fourth.

Respondents rated working environment and culture just above benefits (second most important) and salary (third) as the things they value most in a choice of job.

Other factors included company reputation, support and training; promotion prospects, flexible work hours, being part of a growth industry and work-life balance.

The top 10 also featured Shell, ExxonMobil, Microsoft, Changi Airport Group, Procter & Gamble and Keppel Corporation.
