Companies that are harnessing tech talent to embed technology into their business processes and products are winning in their respective markets. While the unemployment rate for tech pros remains low (2.8 percent), employers everywhere are looking for compelling ways to attract highly skilled, in-demand tech talent.

While the top spots in our study went to obvious tech firms (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple and Facebook, for example), a number of employers straddled with tech\/non-tech line. With that in mind, here are the top three companies in key industries that tech pros ranked as ideal places to work:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dice.com\/hiring\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Dice-Report-Image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-999880461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dice.com\/hiring\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Dice-Report-Image.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.dice.com\/hiring\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Dice-Report-Image-300x270.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.dice.com\/hiring\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Dice-Report-Image-768x691.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technology powers innovation, productivity and performance across all businesses today.
