5. 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, which could be used as work shoes. It was this same tabi-sock division of his company that produced the first Bridgestone tire in April 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.
In May, the company was recognized as one of Boeing's "Suppliers of the Year." The airline manufacturer works with around 17,500 suppliers, and Bridgestone was among 15 companies honored (in various categories) for their service to the company.
Employee Review: "As industry leader, Bridgestone is a global brand with great quality tires. The products are recognized [the] world over and [the] customer recognizes the quality."*

The company's founder, George Dayton, opened his first store in 1902, which he called Goodfellows, in Minneapolis. Sixty years later, the company opened its first Target-branded store in Roseville, Minn. Some two decades later, the company had its first year with over $1 billion in revenue.
Target has announced plans to enter the Canadian market in 2013. The company already has signed a $1.82 billon deal with Canadian retail-chain Zellers to take over as many as 220 store leases, and Target has already announced the proposed location of its first 105 Canadian locations.

7. AT&T Retail
With over 96 million mobile customers, AT&T Wireless is the 20th-largest mobile phone service provider in the world, and according to Forbes, the 14th-largest company in the world by market value.
The company's mobile division is headquartered in Dekalb, Ga., just outside of Atlanta. Between the years of 2005 and 2007, the company acquired Cingular Wireless and BellSouth. Until recently, AT&T Wireless was the exclusive carrier of Apple's popular iPhone line in the United States.
Earlier this year, the company announced plans to acquire T-Mobile USA for approximately $39 billion. This acquisition has recently hit a roadblock, with the courts citing "higher prices and less choice" as potential large-scale problems. A marriage of the two giants is still under debate.
Employee Review: "They provide great benefits and pay. I know they match quite a bit for 401(k) investment. It is a great job for someone interested in technology and learning about new technologies. Also, it is great to know that you are helping others out on a daily basis."*
