Recently, the 2025 list of Singapore’s Best Employers was released, and Apple has claimed the No.1 spot for the second consecutive year, following its win in 2024.
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ Slips, A Reflection of Its Recent Cautious Moves and Stock Price?
In 2023, Google held the top spot with an impressive score of 9.13, while Apple was only in fourth place.
But tides have turned — Apple surged to No.1 in 2024 and maintained its lead into 2025, while Google has slipped all the way down to 8th place.
While Apple remains strong, other tech names like Microsoft, Meta, $Dell Technologies Inc.(DELL)$ , and even $Grab Holdings(GRAB)$ have seen fluctuating positions or dropped out of the rankings altogether.
Beyond Apple and Google: Which Global Employers Are Gaining Ground in Singapore?
Pharmaceutical companies like $Novartis AG(NVS)$ , $GlaxoSmithKline PLC(GSK)$ , and Roche have remained firmly in the top 20 for three consecutive years, showcasing their long-term attractiveness in the job market and branding themselves as “evergreen” career choices.
Interestingly, several fast-moving consumer goods emerged as dark horse. Danish toymaker LEGO continues to secure a top 10 position.
🇸🇬 Local Champions Shine Bright!
Apart from the consistently strong local banks (DBS, OCBC, UOB), Singapore-based companies like Koufu Group and $SIA(C6L.SI)$ made remarkable leaps.
Koufu surged from relative obscurity to land at No.7. In 2022, Koufu Group was privatized and delisted.
SIA, which was completely absent from the 2023 rankings, debuted at No.112 in 2024 and soared to No.13 in 2025 — a stunning comeback story post-COVID. SIA will release earnings tomorrow.

to be honest, I don't like $Apple(AAPL)$ as they have a way to "bind" you. though I must say they have a good business model as once an Apple user, will be hard to switch to Android.

Apple $Apple(AAPL)$ keeping its No.1 spot shows strong branding, while SIA’s $SIA(C6L.SI)$ big comeback is impressive after COVID. Local names like Koufu rising in the ranks also show that homegrown companies are getting more recognition, which is great for Singapore’s job market.
However, rankings shouldn’t be the only factor when considering a job. Things like team culture, career growth, and work-life balance are equally important. Use such surveys as a guide, but always do deeper research before making career decisions.
