Tech rules

The table highlights the continuing popularity of tech companies, banks, and professional services providers among millennials.

The data was collected over a 12-month period across 12 of the world’s largest economies: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Russia, United Kingdom and the United States. It evaluated more than 267,000 business, engineering and IT students (of which 130,935 were business students) on the best companies to work for.
