Blind's user sentiment rankings for companies

I went to the search page and collected data for the question: "Would you work at [this company]?" Results are for proportion of users answering yes. Hudson River Trading: 97% Google: 90% Jane Street: 90% Jump Trading: 90% Netflix: 89% Square: 89% Stripe: 87% Twilio: 86% LinkedIn: 83% Two Sigma: 83% Splunk: 81% Apple: 79% Bloomberg: 79% Databricks: 79% Pinterest: 79% Microsoft: 77% Roblox: 77% Coinbase: 75% Twitter: 75% Salesforce: 74% Facebook: 73% Expedia: 69% Slack: 69% Adobe: 68% Instacart: 67% Tesla: 65% Airbnb: 59% VMware: 57% Walmart: 55% Oracle: 52% Capital One: 50% Amazon: 46% Uber: 46% Lyft: 44% IBM: 40% Tell me if I've missed any companies you want added to the list (assuming it has sufficient data to be shown). What do you think?

Note that this isn't a "prestige" ranking because the question tells us what % of the voters would be willing to work at a place, not whether it's suitable for those who chose to already work there. Less being drunk on kool-aid, but relatively less informed participants. Personally, I feel that it's better to use company ratings across the five questions (career growth, work - life balance, compensation / benefits, company culture, management) because those offer a more accurate and detailed breakdown than the larger external pool (albeit bigger samples tend to have lower standard error), although the numbers are positively correlated. As more people upvote or downvote, the proportions I shared can change over time, and I purposely excluded Citadel and Robinhood from mention due to recent events. The statistics obviously aren't perfect, due to different sub-populations of people checking each page and response rate bias. Hope it provides some insight into the less commonly mentioned names and deflates the popularity factor (leaning too heavily toward brand names in neglect of high-quality smaller companies). A short list of those companies I checked with sample sizes too small to be shown: Bank of America Box Credit Suisse D.E. Shaw DRW Glassdoor Indeed JPMorgan Chase Lockheed Martin Samsung SAP Susquehanna International Group Tableau Verizon Yelp Zillow It was harder to locate the reviews page for quant hedge funds and prop shops, but I managed to navigate to them by finding tagged posts and clicking the company links. Based on elementary number-theoretic considerations, HRT should have at least 14 votes, which is more than the number of full reviews, yet admittedly not a lot (it could be much more, I'm not certain). If I have more time later, I'll come back and create separate posts for the more specific rating categories. Feel free to criticize, send feedback, et cetera.

am I crazy or is there a correlation between the length of the company name and the approval rate?
