I worked for Aldi for two years and in reality it is certainly not in the top 10 for graduates to work. The salary is the only thing which makes this a top company to work for.

Whilst working there you work on average 60 hours a week, working 12 hour shifts without a break or lunch break.

You do run a store very soon, yes, but you only have about 6 staff to manage and on a typical busy day you will only have 2 staff members and yourself running the store and doing everything!

Definetly not a top 10 graduate company!

What they dont tell you is the hours you'll be working and the culture of the firm; every single one under the sun and cut throat!

Having participated and facilitated your research whilst at Lancaster Uni and worked for Aldi for four years, I feel your research would be better titled

"Who advertises themselves most effectively to Graduates"

I honestly believe that Graduates only rank employers based on their marketing and the money they offer - and the reality is that most employers fail to live up the hype they create around their graduate programs.

I now work for Deloitte who pay less but promote a stronger work life balance ethic. They deserve their higher ranking for this reason alone.

I would love to see a "What do they think now" special asking those same graduates how they would rank those firms after working for them.
