The workforce is changing dramatically: millennials are now the largest generation in the U.S. workforce, and Generation Z is fast on their heels.<\/p>\n

While it may be easier to lump the groups together, differences exist between them. Those born in the earlier and later halves of the so-called millennial generation, commonly defined as the period between the early 1980s and mid-1990s, have vastly different experiences with technology. For example, the average 35-year-old today (playfully dubbed an \u201colder\u201d millennial) was 24 when the iPhone came out while the average 26-year-older today (a \u201cyounger\u201d millennial) was 15. Those in Generation Z, born mid-1990s to early 2000s, were no older than 12.<\/p>\n

Those differences have affected more than each generation\u2019s comfort with technology; they\u2019ve influenced their perception of where they\u2019d most like to work. Using data from more than 23,000 people 18 to 35, Comparably<\/b> discovered the firms that top the list of dream tech employers for each generation. Full methodology below.<\/em><\/p>\n
