EY was ranked as the world’s most attractive professional services employer in Universum’s annual World’s Most Attractive Employer survey, matching its historic achievement last year.

For the second year in a row EY was also ranked second among all employers, with Google taking the top spot.

The Universum World’s Most Attractive Employer ranking is an annual global survey of business students from the world’s top academic institutions in the 12 largest economies by GDP.

Ronald Attard, managing partner, EY Malta, said: “A company’s success is often and erroneously measured solely by its profit margins. At EY Malta, as well as globally, we take a different, more organic and long-term view.

“We strongly believe that what ultimately drives the bottom line is our people – their talents, drive and job satisfaction.

“With this in mind we do our utmost to be a company which offers each of our employees the space to make their professional ambitions a reality.”

EY has a 190,000-strong workforce around the world.
