So you’ve decided on what you want to do with your life career-wise, whether it’s becoming a marketing maven, engineer extraordinaire, or super sales pro. Congrats! But that’s just the first step; you also have to decide where you want to make your career foray. If you’re looking to launch a career, look at these seven workplaces first — these top millennial companies are totally in touch with the needs and desires of Gen Y workers:

Google: This millennial magnet continues to top “best places to work” lists year after year — and with good reason. With a career site tagline of “do cool things that matter,” Google skillfully appeals to millennials’ desires to work for companies whose mission aligns with their own personal interests and values. Google encourages innovation in its employees through a focus on personal development, employee freedom, and even a fun and wacky office design.

Walt Disney Company: Mickey Mouse and co. have been making millennial job seekers’ career dreams come true through the company’s innovative Disney College Program for years now. Through the program, current college students and recent grads rotate through Disney’s different departments to get a taste of what working for this legendary company is like. With its unique focus on supporting undergraduates and fresh-out-of-college job seekers, Disney makes for a magical place for young millennials to launch their careers.

Airbnb: Recent legal entanglements aside, Airbnb boasts a workplace culture that’s totally tops for millennials; in fact, the company just topped Glassdoor’s annual “Best Places to Work” 2016 list, based on data and drawn directly from employee feedback. By providing daily meals and snacks, outfitting the company headquarters with a stylish, lounge-y aesthetic, and organizing inspiring “fireside chats” so that employees can learn from industry leaders (everyone from former Apple VPs to musician Will.i.am have been featured), Airbnb provides a family-like workplace that’s full of fun perks.

Warby Parker: A certified B-corp, Warby Parker is a great place for a socially conscious millennial to get his or her career start. Built on the back of strong, visionary leadership (in fact, the CEOs have a 100 percent approval rating on review site Glassdoor), Warby Parker provides its full-time employees with a health and wellness stipend, a copy of a Jack Kerouac novel on the first day of work, and a company mission to feel good about.

Etsy: Not too big and not too small, this crafty company is a great place to start a career for employees who don’t want to get lost in the shuffle of a gigantic corp. In fact, Etsy just made Great Place to Work’s list of the top medium-sized companies to work for, which focused on firms that boast somewhere between 250 and 999 employees. Plus, an enviable number of vacation days and a dog-friendly office make it easy for new employees to ease into that nine-to-five life.

Power Home Remodeling Group: This is the best place for millennials to work that millennials have probably never heard of. In fact, the home renovation company with headquarters in Pennsylvania just snagged the number one spot on Great Place to Work’s 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials list. What got them to the top? A supportive, goal-oriented culture that gets top ranks from employees, cutting-edge technology, and a pair of CEOs that totally get the millennial mindset — perhaps because as young 30-somethings, they’re still millennials themselves.

Boston Consulting Group: Young whippersnappers who take the consulting route fresh out of college can expect to work notoriously long hours. Boston Consulting Group is no different, but the firm does differentiate itself by providing a host of support and training programs for its young employees. Online virtual learning courses and a unique Ambassador Program — which allows consultants to live and work in another BCG office abroad for a year — are big millennial pluses, and the firm continuously ranks high on diversity measures, too.
