Review: While these 10 employers may be ideal for universities and college administrators as they recruit a vast number of undergraduate business students every year, they may not be the best for the students who actually work there. This survey is biased because most of the firms on the list spend millions of dollars marketing themselves on campus. I suspect that had this survey been given to undergrads working at one of these firms for a year, the results would have likely differed. The best places to work for aren't likely to spend millions of dollars to tell you so. This is because they don't hire en masse and don't have to replenish their depleted numbers every year due to high turnover.

Review: In the modern era of globalization other opportunities must be considered, too. I would like some undergraduates to give a thought to the Salvation Army!
