Google’s parent company, Alphabet, is ranked seventh in the “Top Companies” list by the professional social network site.

“Data shows us that an opportunity to work at solving big problems, rewriting the rules of one’s industry or simply putting a big name on one’s resume could be powerful motivators,” Charlie said.

Ola has dropped 11 spots from fifth position in 2017 to 16th this year, and McKinsey & Company has made a significant jump from 24th position to sixth.

This year, more than 50 per cent of the companies are new entrants to the list including Directi (first), Anheuser-Busch InBev (fifth), EY (ninth) and Daimler AG (11th) that have given stiff competition to the usual top runners, Adobe (12th), Reliance Industries (24th), and Ola (16th).
