Gazprom has been voted as the most attractive employer in Russia by students and young professionals for the second year in succession in a survey conducted by the local research firm Universum.
More than 19,000 young people across Russia were quizzed in the survey, RBC reports. About 16,000 respondents were full-time students, with an additional 3,000 identifying themselves as young professionals. Participants were asked which company best embodied their dreams of a long, stable and successful career.
A majority of respondents named Gazprom, the world’s largest natural gas supplier, of which the Russian government currently holds a majority stake. However, there was a notable difference of opinion according to the region in which respondents lived – some 37.6 percent of those living in St. Petersburg chose Gazprom, compared to just 28.2 percent of Moscow-based respondents. Moreover, 41.8 percent of those based outside of the two major metropolises voted for the gas supplier.
Rosneft, the state-owned oil company, was voted as the second-most desirable employer, followed by Google in third place and BMW Group in fourth.
As far as employer attributes were concerned, respondents rated job stability as their biggest priority, followed by expectations of professional training and development, higher earnings potential, and the financial stability of the company.
Gazprom was previously voted Russia’s most desirable employer in 2014, the first year in which Universum conducted its study.
