Serious replies only please. I'm not necessarily talking about prestige, but moreso where you'll find
1) the highest total compensation,
2) the most research and technology-driven culture,
3) the greatest opportunity for impact and career growth.
I have a feeling it's Netflix in 2019, but interested in hearing opinions from Blind. I'd rather hear substantive comments rather than "lol my company good ur company bad", but I'll see what I can get.
You can also throw in outliers like RenTech, DE Shaw, etc. but those will obviously not be applicable to most people responding here.
Obligatory: $300k TC, 5 YOE

So should dod/nasa like orgs?
But pretty sure dod used to have best minds back in the day. And the govt would have some org that hires brilliant comp scientists.
Bell Labs to NASA, then there was a drought where R&D spending went to nothing, Now Google, MSR, probably have two of the most diverse research divisions. Then there are places like the Simon's foundation
