i don't judge people by their age -- i've had absolutely amazing young coworkers and crazy shitty older ones (and the other way around).

i would 100% work at a place with younger people AND at a place with older people. it all depends on how the company's culture handled all this.

(and why you are interviewing the company as much as the company is interviewing you).

The ideal thing is a mix that is somewhat representative of the population at large. It's good to have different perspectives and attitudes and experience. Sometimes lack of experience to question 'why we do it that way', but it's also usually good to have someone who knows that we do it that way not "because", but because doing it another way can lead to subtle problems that are hard to diagnose.
