+1. This can be subjective and depends on what you are looking for but off the top of my head based on my field I would say AWS and Google.

Exactly, could be selectivity, could be difficulty of interview process. Also what company size? What industry?

There are some discreet quantitative hedge funds, for example, that are very hard to crack into, but most people would not even know that they exist or what they are called.

Totally depends on your background. Are you a lawyer? In IT? Do you have a top 10 mba or mbb consulting experience?

The OP's question reminded me of the scene from the Fountainhead:

Roark’s fingers moved in slow rotation, beating against the steps."If you want my advice, Peter," he said at last, "you’ve made a mistake already.By asking me. By asking anyone. Never ask people. Not about your work. Don’t you know what you want? How can you stand it, not to know?"
