Not super well known (the likes of FANG) Great WLB (<= 40h, no or low on call). Good culture, no stack ranking, nice people, family friendly. Ok salary, enough to live but not for the TC chasers. I’ve heard good things about Expedia, Salesforce, ServiceNow, etc. Can you share your gem company? I think this will be helpful for people like me. Thank you. Thank for sharing! I’ll keep track of your answers and put the list here in case anyone is interested. Notes: - It’s true that teams and managers are more important than companies BUT the chance of getting bad teams/managers at the gem 💎 companies is lower than at companies like the "world best employer". That's the purpose of the list. - It’s very difficult to judge a manager during a 45 min interview. Asking managers and (designated) members questions is good but not enough. They usually don’t tell candidates the true stories. - Ok salary means a bit lower to a bit more than the average in the same city. - If a company’s name is on the list, that means someone from that company recommended. If you strongly disagree (e.g. IBM), let others know by using the company email. Otherwise, who knows if that’s true 🤷♂️. Please share for the collective benefits. 🌟 List (updated 7 September 2022): 🌟 3M Accolade Adobe ⚖️ Adyen Agoda Akamai Technology Allstate Anaplan ⚖️📉 Ancestry Ansys ASML Atlassian ⚖️ Autodesk Avant BestBuy 📈 BFA industries Bloomberg Booking Booz Allen Hamilton 🇺🇸 Braze Cadence 📉 Calendly Capital Group (not Capital One) Carta Chegg Cisco 🗓 Comcast Course Hero Credit Karma Cummins Dassault Systemes DigitalOcean Discover Financial Services Doma DoubleVerify Doximity Dropbox 📈 Duolingo EBay Equal Experts Fidelity Investment Fortinet GitHub General Motors Glassdoor GoDaddy GrubHub Guidewire Handshake HashiCorp Haven Technologies Home Depot Houzz HubSpot Indeed Infoblox Intel Intuit ⚖️ JetBrains 🇪🇺 LaunchDarkly Lightspeed Commerce LinkedIn Marqeta Mars Mastercard MathWorks 📈 Mercari ⚖️ Mercedes Benz Research Microsoft 📈✂️Azure MongoDB Nike Nordstrom Nuance NVDIA Office Depot Okta Oracle 📉 ✂️OCI Oscar Health PepsiCo Pinterest Pixar Pluralsight 📉 Qualcomm Reddit Red Hat 📈 Samsung ⚖️ Salesforce 📉 SAP Labs ⚖️ SAS ServiceNow 📉 Shopify Shutterfly Siemens 🇪🇺📈 Slack Sony SpotHero Spotify 📈 Square Squarespace Strava Stryker Synopsys 🗓 The New York Times Thumbtack ⚖️ TripAdvisor 📉 TwistBioscience Twitter 📉 T-Mobile Unity Varo Money ViacomCBS ⚖️📉 VideoAmp Visa VMWare 🗓 Vox Media Western Digital Workday Workiva Yahoo Yelp YieldMo Zapier Zendesk Zillow Zynga ⚖️ 🗓: No PIP but annual layoff 📉: getting worse, do team research 📈: recommended by many ⚖️: debatable 🇪🇺: better in Europe 🇺🇸: US gov contractor, usually requires citizenship ✂️: exclude specific org/division 🗑 Companies have been removed from the list: ADP (wlb, salary) Bolt (mass layoff) Expedia (stack ranking) IBM PayPal (mass layoff) Stitch Fix (wlb) #tech #wlb #nostackrank #goodculture #decentsalary
Microsoft is for you
But Hotjar is apparently amazing
Indeed fits this bill pretty nicely. Hard to move up and get raises, but work life balance is pretty great.
Yelp.
Amazon

Cisco is one of them as long as you become manager pet. In this case you got ZERO chance to be laid off annually and WLB is fabulous because you are the only one in the team knowing in-and-out of current products.
Strava. On call is still there, but the culture, family friendliness, and WLB are all there. Base salary is solid for non-Bay area. People love the product.

Interesting, I’ve heard that Salesforce has a cult-like culture, and a friend of mine was working 70 hours a week to pass probation :/
Yeah true, salesforce has become too political and toxic due to managers and upper management pressure. On top of that work is also boring and monotonous. And I seen many comments lately that they started firing people also so time to cut off salesforce from list.
Depends on the team. My team is pretty chill and I don’t work more than 40 hours a week.
