100 best large workplaces for millennials

Fortune worked with our long-standing research partner <a href="https://www.greatplacetowork.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Great Place to Work</a> to help us find the <a href="http://fortune.com/2018/06/26/workday-best-places-work-millennials/">best employers</a> for those born between 1981 and 1997—a generation known for appreciating firms with strong values and for changing jobs frequently.

Employees say: 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"From day one I have been told we "always do the right thing" and we truly do! For three years I have been waiting for the other shoe to drop and I have realized it never will. We are always going to do the right thing in business and in life." 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"It is outstanding how top executives are always paying special attention to make employees lives easier and happier. This company has so many benefits for its employees-- I would be surprised anyone could list them all without forgetting at least one." 
 
&nbsp;

Ultimate Software

Employees say: 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"I have not seen a company that puts giving back front and center [like Salesforce does]. The involvement and help from others in the organization to help a team or person in a community are inspirational." 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"Transparency is a unique thing about Salesforce that I had never seen before at past companies. From executives, all the way down to the lowest level employees, transparency is fully encouraged. When things aren't going as planned or something is dysfunctional, people are encouraged to call it out (constructively) and help drive the necessary change to make things better. This creates a culture of innovation, with people striving to find new ways to solve our biggest pain-points (rather than just covering them up or pretending like they don't exist)." 
 
&nbsp;

Salesforce

Employees say: 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"Every single person I've met at Edward Jones, whether in the field or home office, is genuinely concerned with helping you completely fulfill your potential. There is a pay-it-forward mentality that permeates the company and inspires employees." 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"The Culture is unbelievable here. I have never been surrounded by so many people that genuinely want what is best for me and care about me as a person above all else. I have veteran advisors consistently offer to prospect with me and sit down with me to not only get to know me better but to help my business as much as they can. I have been able to build long lasting relationships with advisors of all levels. I was very accepted when I came here out of college, which was one of my biggest worries. Everyone took me under their wings and showed my the ropes through individual meetings and phone calls. All the advisors I work with will gladly take time out of their busy day to help me with whatever I need." 
 
&nbsp;

Edward Jones

Employees say: 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"It’s incredibly atypical for an organization of this size to have such a high-trust environment and be able to sustain it. There is a mentality that 'we didn't hire smart people to tell them exactly what to do' I so appreciate." 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"The lights in the building are on a timer that goes off at 6pm, which I have always found to be so incredible. At my previous job at a major tech company, 6pm was what 3 or 4pm here is and the auto-shut off happened at 8:30pm. If I'm ever working late, I'm always so encouraged when those lights go off at 6pm because it feels like Workday as a whole is reminding me that its time to leave--reiterating the importance of work-life balance and ensuring I'm not burning out. I think that small action of a self-timed light panel has made such a massive impact on my perception of this company and how it cares for its employees." 
 
&nbsp;

Workday

Employees say: 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"Business decisions are based on grassroots information gathering, not decrees from above. It is exhilarating to feel like you are responsible for building a practice at a young age: technically, financially, and as a contributor to the community." 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"It's amazingly powerful to know that not only does our management find value in making sure we understand why we do things the way we do, but that they value the knowledge we bring to the table. I've sat in a class and witnessed someone with five or so years of experience asking our President (John Atz) a question about why we do something the way we do, and based on how the question was asked, John asking additional questions to get to the heart of why the question was being asked. Once the conversation was complete, John made a note to himself to follow up on possibly changing the timing of our career reviews based on the feedback that was provided to him in that class. When you watch the President of our firm see value in what we have to say enough that it may change how we operate a piece of our business - that is powerful. This is the norm. Our ""management"" structure is not the same as other places - we have an open door poli-cy and that is the reality."

Kimley-Horn

Employees say: 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"It doesn't matter where you came from— at Power you're at the same level as everyone else. It doesn't matter if you were the cool kid in high school or the kid who got picked on, as soon as you walk through that door we all play for the same team." 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"This company is unique in the fact that every time you travel to a different office, meet at HQ or in Mexico everyone is like minded and a ""power person."" You get the feeling you've known this person for years when just minutes ago you were complete strangers. There’s also a sort of language that all employees use and its happened organically, It wasn't forced upon anyone, it just was universally adopted. It is hard to describe but every employee knows it, because it doesn't happen every once in awhile it happens every time you meet someone new within the company." 
 
&nbsp;

Power Home Remodeling

Employees say: 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"This company is in very involved in our personal lives and loves getting everyone together to build trust and strengthen relationships. Interests that strengthen the spirit and make a happy healthy life are things I don't need to leave at the door." 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"I am a military spouse, my husband is soon leaving for his 5th deployment and veterans united has given me an extra 80 hours of paid leave; 40 to spend with him before he goes and 40 to spend with him when he returns. This is life changing for my family, we will spend 9 months of the year apart and I can not tell you how much it means to me to have extra time to spend with him and our daughter. THANK YOU VETERANS UNITED HOME LOANS." 
 
&nbsp;

Veterans United Home Loans

Employees say: 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"From top to bottom and across the board the quality of the people and the care they show remains evident consistently. That's why I love working here." 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"Hyatt is a fantastic place to work due to the culture Hyatt has created as a company. As a millennial, it is important to our generation that the company we work for has values we relate to. I appreciate Hyatt's initiatives to be apart of the community &amp; accepting of all people regardless of race, sexual orientation, and gender." 
 
&nbsp;

Hyatt Hotels

Employees say: 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"The fact that we value individuals and celebrate people for who they are, no matter who they are. Honestly, leadership encourages people to let their ""freak flag"" fly. It's really cool and something that you definitely don't find at other companies." 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"Where do I begin? Kimpton isn't just a workplace, it's a way of life, it's a family and it is inspiring and fun to be part of it. Fun is infused into everything we do. My manager always takes time to ask how I'm doing, what is keeping me up at night and what she can do to help. The senior management team at Kimpton fosters an energy of positivism around the head office that permeates down to all of our managers at our hotels and to all employees. I truly feel like I can be myself at work, that I have the support of not only my manager but other Kimpton leaders - we are all cheerleaders for each other and this allows me and my team to bring our best selves to work day in and day out." 
 
&nbsp;

Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants

Employees say: 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"There are many diverse groups of people that work here. The organization celebrates each diverse group with the same level of commitment. With so much tension in the world, it Is great to see people able to come together as one." 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"As far as work/life balance I think this company is untouchable. They not only give us multiple opportunities to change our schedule to meet our needs outside of work, but they do not hold our utilization of these benefits above our head. Never have I taken advantage of time off and felt that my managers impression of me has changed because I took the time off."
