đ„ MAJOR TECH EMPLOYER POWER RANKINGS (SEATTLE ONLY, Q4 2017)
These rankings take into account: desirability, compensation, prestige, reputation, quality of life, exclusivity, company trajectory, social brand value, career growth opportunities, stock performance, location, office quality and a secret sauce of other factors. This analysis is focused specifically on the Seattle market and is normalized to that market, i.e. companies may rank higher/lower here than if we included SF/SV or other markets in the analysis. Companies outside of #10 are not ranked. Remember this is based on a composite of factors so a companyâs ranking is not solely dictated by strong/weak performance in one or two areas etc. Elite Tier: 1. Facebook (incl. Oculus) 2. Google Top Tier: 3. Airbnb 4. Apple 5. Lyft High Tier: 6. Amazon 7. Uber 8. Valve 9. Stripe 10. Snapchat -Palantir -Splunk -Dropbox Mid Tier: -Hulu -Microsoft (incl. LinkedIn) -Tableau -Alibaba -Salesforce -Pinterest -Twitter -Puppet Low Tier: -Expedia -Oracle -VMWare -Qualtrics -Nintendo -HBO -eBay -Intel -Adobe -Socrata -Redfin -Porch -Bungie -IBM -Zillow -Sonos -Remitly Shit Tier: -Cisco -F5 Networks -EMC -HP/HPE -EA (incl. PopCap) -T-Mobile -BrightCove -Starbucks -DocuSign -GoDaddy -Centurylink -Groupon -REI -Slalom Consulting -Accenture -Concur -Visa -Nordstrom -Niantic
> Amazon > not low tier Lol
Amazon has more variation than most companies in Seattle due to the variety of businesses and the sheer number of employees, but thereâs a pretty clear advantage in comp, opportunity for your career, reputation, desirability etc. vs those companies in mid and low tier. I believe Amazon would compare more unfavorably if this wasnât just a ranking for the Seattle market. Your experience at any company may vary.
Dude, you put Amazon above Uber and Snapchat. Your list is egregious comically.
Who made this ranking, you? Thanks for putting us in low tier.
I donât see how amazon is higher than Microsoft. Same shit to get in.
Mainly differentiated by outcomes of transfers between companies, competitive offer acceptance, compensation, company image/reputation and future trajectory. Difficulty of interview is not the only factor. Microsoft has great quality of life but fares poorly in other categories.
Lol, I guess a post like this is easier than having your lower ribs removed.. Same outcome tho.
Are you kidding about Amazon. It should have been in the shitty tier. Isin it? Look at all the employee suicide attempts. Look at pay scale comparative to rest of the high tier employers.
^ mainly low tier due to prestige. Prestige is what matters most.
there is no such thing as a prestige for giant corporations. plenty of rubbish engineers are in Google, FB, Amazon, Microsoft. Trust me.
Does Netflix have a Seattle operation now?
Redfin?
Need to add RedFin and Concur to shit tier.
đ
Best buy, Sears and Staples should be below shit tier. Maybe a "tone deaf company" tier.
I would have combined low and mid tier
The gap between mid/low is smaller than elite/top and top/high etc. but notably if you combined mid and low a whoooole lot of Microsoft people would be salty (and are already salty) here. There is a lot of movement between employees in mid/low tiers to other companies in mid/low tiers, but not to better tiers.
Or make it like this: Elite: relevant brand, competitive offers, RSUs, bonus, enviable brand and instant respect on name alone, utopian work culture Top: relevant brand, competitive offers, RSUs, bonus, responsive to counter offers, flexible work arrangements High: relevant brand, competitive offers, RSUs, bonus Medium: legacy brand, competitive salary, RSUs, bonus Low: legacy brand, competitive salary, bonus Shit: companies thinking they can pay below local market, no bonuses, no RSUs, and attract top talent forced to work 80 hour weeks acting like its 2009 all over again.
