I know an sde (L65) at Microsoft. He is looking to switch to a smaller company but would prefer ones that have family benefits similar to Microsoft in the seattle area. Are there any good ones he should be checking out? Similarly, are there any ones he should stay away from?
Valve. Medium size. Teams tends to be smallish for the big products they have built. Amazing family benefits. Probably better coverage than MS. You see co-workers spouses and kids all the time at the office. Gaming company has some unique perk.
Ex-msft here. Have been with Qumulo for 4+ years. Great culture, awesome product to work on and the benefits are great. Happy to talk to your friend about Qumulo if he is interested.
