LinkedIn’s Top Companies in Singapore are Led by Financial Firms

LinkedIn releases a list of companies where professionals grow the fastest.

More than half of the top 15 companies on LinkedIn’s 2024 Top Companies list for Singapore are financial institutions.

Notably, homegrown DBS Bank maintains its #1 position for the second consecutive year, underscoring its continued leadership in the industry and excellence.

According to Pooja Chhabria, LinkedIn Career Expert and Head of Editorial, APAC, “LinkedIn’s 2024 Top Companies list for Singapore is a unique and actionable resource for professionals to find out which companies are leading the way in offering good culture, skills growth, and career development opportunities.”

“Both seasoned executives and entry-level job seekers can also gain insights on the roles, skills, and job functions in demand at these firms. They can also take action to explore current job openings, connect with employees, and indicate their interest in any company. Professionals should adopt a growth mindset, and acquire a good mix of hard and soft skills as they steer their careers.” Chhabria added.

Financial institutions top the list, but Schneider Electric—a world authority on sustainability, automation, and energy management—stands out as a noteworthy addition, taking second place and broadening the top rankings beyond the financial industry.

The following companies followed the rank: Procter & Gamble, BD, Abbott, Mastercard, Takeda, Roche, S&P Global, HSBC, American Express, OCBC, Sumitomo Life Insurance, and BD.

The biomedical, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries are well-represented on this year’s list, indicating rising opportunities and demand for professionals in these domains. Out of the two companies on the previous year’s list, five companies from these sectors are featured prominently.

The skills that companies in the banking and financial services industry, such as Commercial Banking, Investment Banking, and Capital Markets, are looking for are revealed by LinkedIn’s data.

Companies in the biomedical and healthcare industries, however, are interested in candidates with backgrounds in pharmaceutics and biomedical engineering. These top companies also make some of the largest investments in fields like engineering, research, operations, business development, and finance.
