1. Citi
With the world's largest financial services network, Citigroup, Inc., spans 140 countries and employs roughly 260,000 worldwide. After suffering from massive losses during the financial crisis of 2008, the company fell from the esteemed title of "largest bank in the world by assets." They are, however, still one of the "big four" banks in the United States. Citigroup repaid the emergency government aid in full by the end of 2010.As stock prices plunged recently, banks were at the forefront of the slide. Citigroup was a part of this fall, yet CEO Vikram Pandit claims Citi is still secure and in good shape as a company.
Employee Review: "Nice coworkers, good hours, pleasant management, good location, interesting work spanning decades of involvement in the country, good springboard for future jobs."*

3. Bridgestone
The company is headquartered in Tokyo and, with all its subsidiaries included, employs over 150,000 worldwide. In 1906, Bridgestone founder Shojiro Ishibashi took over his family's clothing business at 17 years of age.He revolutionized the traditional Japanese socks known as "tabi" with the creation of a rubber-soled version that could be used as work shoes. It was this same tabi-sock division of his company that produced the first Bridgestone tire in April of 1930.
In 1988 the company purchased the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, solidifying Bridgestone's position as a major player in the worldwide tire market. Since then, the company has continued to grow and currently has manufacturing centers in 25 countries.
