Jul30	IBM - Only Tech Firm in Top 10 for Interns - BusinessWeek Ujwal Tickoo July 30, 2008 Know More: IBM IT BusinessWeek has come up with rankings where Tech companies haven't fared well for Interns. Four of the Top 5 spots are taken by Big 4 consulting firms (some of which have Tech consulting practices). Only 1 pure-tech firm IBM is in the Top 10. The next spot 15th is taken by Intel. If you are surprised that this ranking does not correlate with the popular FORTUNE's Best Places to work - Top 10 then the reason is in BW's methodology -- they began with BW's Top 100 Best places to launch a career in 2007. For example in 2007 FORTUNE ranked Google as #1 place to work but it doesn't have a top 10 rank for Interns. However Delloite & Touche, E&Y, and PwC were in Top 3 of BW rankings in 2007 for launching a career and Google ranked 5th -- however it didn't end in Top 10 for interns. So, FORTUNE's worlds best place to work isnt the best place to launch a career. ;) Top 5 firms for Interns are (IBM is ranked 9th): PricewaterhouseCoopers Ernst & Young Deloitte & Touche Goldman Sachs KPMG See the slideshow at BW Continue Reading Posted at 12:13 AM \| Permalink
