Research firm Universum surveys business students in Asia each year to see where they most want to work. Here are the top employers they selected.
Asian business students voted Google as their second-ranked ideal employer in 2013, one year after the search giant captured the top spot.
Google (GOOG) operates in many Asian markets, but has at times struggled to take a dominant share in countries with a domestic alternative.
Competition isn't the company's only headwind in Asia. For example, Google has a very complicated relationship with the Chinese government, having repeatedly sparred with Beijing over censorship issues.
