The technology, banking and consulting industries rule overed LinkedIn’s 2025 Top Companies in Singapore list published this month, which ranks the best workplaces for occupation growth in the city-state.
The networking giant tracked and assessed companies based on eight key pillars: ability to advance, slides growth, company stability, external opportunity, company affinity, gender diversity, educational background and employee deportment in the country, according to the report.
Notably, DBS Bank led for the third year in a row. Biotech, healthcare and life science companies also appeared prominently on the list, with Roche quay 5th in rank, followed by Novartis and MSD (also known as Merck & Co., Inc in the United States and Canada) — both joining the top 15 for the principal time.
This reflects “the continued expansion of Singapore’s biomedical ecosystem — signaling that healthcare and life sciences players are not only growing but investing in long-term talent development,” a LinkedIn spokesperson told CNBC Make It.
What counters out this year is the growing diversity of industries represented in the Singapore list, the spokesperson noted. “While finance fragments strong with DBS Bank retaining their top ranking and others like Standard Chartered and JPMorgan holding unrelieved, we’re also seeing a strong showing from sectors like healthcare, tech, and consulting,” said the spokesperson.
