The table below presents the 50 most popular employers among students surveyed by The Universum Diversity Survey 2002.The survey, which is conducted annually by the international research and consulting firm Universum Communications, monitors the employment-related opinions of undergraduate and MBA students with minority backgrounds. Over 3,500 students at 53 of the finest universities throughout the United States participated in the 2002 survey.
From a list on the survey questionnaire, respondents were asked to select up to five companies as their ideal employers, or the companies for which they would most like to work. (They had the option of writing in two companies if their preferred employers were not already present on the list.) The data was subsequently tabulated, with the companies selected by the greatest percentage of respondents given the highest rankings on the list of minority students' ideal employers.

Over 3,500 students at 53 of the finest universities throughout the United States participated in the 2002 survey.Ok, students are rating corporate "diversity" values? What a croc.
A survey of the best college drinking games would have been more informative!
To: Professional
My work brings me into contact with academia. My impression of college students today is that virtually none of them have ambitions (if that's the right word) to work in government. Even the greenies want to work (to the extent they want to work at all) for foundations rather than regulatory agencies. It is actually quite heartening that black students also are not fixated on government jobs.

I see this article is bringing out all of FR's best and brightest minds ...oh, nevermind.

I would have put HP higher on the diversity list. I worked for them, and when I saved a lot of money on office supplies locally, I was told that I must buy from a black-owned company at 3 times the price. Ahh, reparations.

Yes, but they got their SBDC tax credits from the Feds!

Call me crazy, but when I look for a job, I focus on a company that will provide good pay for a secure position that I want. The colors of my prospective coworkers could not possibly be more irrelevant.
But that line of thought is based on logic and rationality, so I suppose it's not acceptable in this day and age.

Here's a list of 50 stocks to short. Why? Because a bunch of minority (NOT necessarily black, unless you're stereotyping) undergrads think those companies would be good places to work? God forbid. It's a survey of students, about the companies they'd like to work for. Nothing more.
It's a stupid, pointless magazine opinion survey. BFD.

Sony at number 9.
These folks are in for a shock if they think working for the Japanese is going to be a positive experience in "diversity".

This appears to be just a list of companies that respondents felt it would be neat to work for, i.e., successful companies paying high salaries. Those companies are fine but I think it would be even neater to work for the Los Angeles Lakers or the New York Yankees. Despite the headline, the poll doesn't appear to have anything whatsoever to do with "diversity".
To: John Lenin
We made the top fifty!!

MSFT is on the list only because they figured out how their Asian and Eastern European engineers could be counted toward "diversity" or because they loaded up their already worthless tech support department with minorities. Everything at the sharp end at Microsoft is hired without consideration of "diversity."

These are largely old, tired, "famous" companies where it is impossible to build a career any more. Ambitious young people will look to start their own companies or hook on with smaller, growing enterprises. No one is going to get rich working at Boeing or IBM - it's just the phony "job security" appeal that is at work here.
To: TheMole
You hit the nail on the head. These kids haven't even hit the real workforce yet. I will tell you that after working with most of the companies on this list at one time or another, there are more in the bottom ten then the top ten who I would consider working for.

This has to be one of the most useless "surveys" ever conducted. Why not just ask a bunch of kids what companies they've
ever heard of? Notice, no construction, no health care, no insurance? What happened to all of the architecture, nursing, and liberal arts students? A quick glance would indicate that nearly all 50 rank among the top 100 public or private corporations in terms of revenue.
This is a name recognition/recall survey. It has nothing to do with who is a good employer, or even who is a "diverse" employer.

"BTW, what is "Andersen" doing on there at #20? Isn't Arthur Andersen out of the accounting business after the Enron thing?"
Andersen Consulting split off from the original company several years ago. I think the guy that was one of the major owners of AA heads it.

Great list of companies to avoid. Unfortunately, I just bought a Dell computer. Next time I'll know better.
