Anecdotal, graduated 1 year ago and have many new-grad friends looking for work now:
Airbnb is probably the most desirable non-fintech company, Uber and Lyft were in this category too before their IPOs.
Of megacorps, Facebook generally has the best new grad comp and benefits, and is therefore most desirable. Google is a close-ish second, Microsoft and Amazon are far behind due to lower comp and cultural issues (In Amazon’s case, this means terrible work/life balance, in Microsoft’s, perception that it’s boring due to enterprise culture and office locations in particularly bland suburbs).
Apple and Netflix aren’t really on the new-grad radar because they hire mostly experienced engineers.
