How about doing your homework and first figuring out which group you would like to work for and in what field.

Then checking their website if they hire (e.g.http://www.pg.com/en_US/careers/index.shtml).

you mean like a refrigerator company?

Go easy on him.

I'm 38 and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. 

Here is an interesting PDF on multinationals published by the Canton de Genève:

And there a list of companies that chose Geneva:

It would be interesting to have a ranking website that shows the rate of "satisfaction" of the employees based on different criterias. But I don't think that exists...

Now apply, get an interview and listen to what the HR manager has to say to sell his company to new candidates... and try to read between the lines, ie. "high-speed environment" can also mean either disorganized or stressful... make your own opinion and good luck!

Thank you! THAT is helpful!

I chose the "apply everywhere and see" method. Hence the fact I was asking for suggestions from people who would be working for a "cool" company I might have forgotten. Thanks anyway.

What do you mean by a cool American company? that's kind of vague. Also, what do you want to do? Do you want to stay in Politics or do you want to do something else?
