Generally speaking this isn’t bad. I just misses out on a lot of names from smaller companies that probably are much better than some trash big companies.
Any bank is in WITCH+1 tier
Some tier 4 seem like they offer comparable TC with good wlb too. nvidia, slack, atlassian, snowflake, airbnb, docusign come to mind Maybe you should quantify what each tier means, but mostly agree. Airbnb listed twice too. For instance tier 0: specialities eg google brain Tier1: high comp and good wlb or good brand, difficult to get in, eg Jane street Tier2: good comp and good wlb or high comp okay wlb, relatively high bar, eg google, meta, slack, lyft Tier 3, solid comp and good wlb or good comp with okay wlb, middling bar, eg square, airbnb, Uber, sales force, apple Tier 4, bad wlb with good comp or low comp and good wlb, low bar, eg amazon, Microsoft, Spotify, oci Tier 5, dinosaur companies or low tier banks eg capital one, oracle, Yelp, intel

If you updated the list, then what happens to the votes that were cast prior to the change 🤔
Only Blind cares about prestige and tiers
Yeah because it's fun.
Srsly why is Google tier 1 while meta/js/..etc are t2?
Updated
Google and FB are same tier. FB pays better and has more career growth opportunities but Google still has the mystique of being Google
Nice way to sneak in Roblox there in tier 1. ..Lol
NVIDIA should be tier 3 it's a little better than apple
Updated
There’s not much justification for putting Google and Meta in different tiers. They’re overall similar with each having slightly different tradeoffs. Meta is basically Google with worse WLB (on average) in exchange for faster growth (on average). Obviously there are exceptions on individual teams.
google is harder to get into and more prestigious however
Only Googlers and non-engineers stuck in the early 2010s thinks Google is more prestigious. They're equal after you account for what SVXG64 said
Google X should be Tier 0 instead of deep mind and brain. X is where waymo, brain, and deepmind came from. It’s Google’s experimental projects division
Pinterest 😅
You saying it’s bad :(
