Hey everyone. Been a while since I did one of these but the last one seemed to get appreciation and positive responses so here's another. Despite what many people say, ranking tech companies is absolutely essential. It can be hard to compare different offers without knowing the objective, undisputable rankings. Lots has happened since the tier list in April, and what was once undisputable has now become disputable again. Lots of companies have fallen off; tier 1 becomes smaller and smaller. Let me know if you want your company to be added. Not adding Indian companies or whatever, this is for USA baby. These are for SWE roles. As before, your role can be +/- ~1 tier depending on role, team, etc. I might take suggestions, but only if you are convincing. God tier: UPS driver Tier -1: CIA, Wendy's, Albertsons, Bed Bath and Beyond, Your dad's company Tier 0: Radix, TGS, Five Rings, HRT, Citadel Securities, Jane Street, Jump Trading Tier 1: OpenAI, Anthropic, Databricks, Citadel, Netflix, Roblox, Snowflake, Two Sigma Tier 2: NVIDIA, Stripe, TikTok, Google, Cruise, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Meta, Discord, Uber, Airbnb Tier 3: Snap, Nuro, Box, Robinhood, Plaid, Salesforce, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Bloomberg, Asana, Quora, Notion, Lyft, Atlassian, Square, Adobe, Palantir, SpaceX Tier 4: Rippling, Riot Games, Spotify, Doordash, Tesla, Oracle, Reddit, Coinbase, Duolingo, Twitter, Goldman Sachs, Docusign, Shopify, J. P. Morgan, VMware, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Walmart, Capital One, Cisco, Attentive, Wish Tier 5 (Shit tier): IBM, AMD, Qualcomm, Intel, eBay, Yahoo, Arista Networks, Comcast, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Samsung, New Tier 2147483647: Unemployed TC 420 #tier #official

Can everyone agree now that USA is a banana republic
Atlassian Tier 3 LOL
C tier tier list
Where is OpenAI
Good call; somehow they disappeared. Just added them in.
What is CIA? Like the government
> Undisputable Noted absence of Wendy's, Albertsons, and Bed Bath and Beyond. List has zero credibility.
You're right. Added
List is missing UPS
Seems like I moved from tier 2 to 3 and now 4 and got pay bump every time. A lot of companies are very org dependent. As an e.g Microsoft and Salesforce refreshers are poor across for majority of the orgs. Adobe on the other hand has bad refreshers only for DX org. Adobe is tier 3 primarily because refreshers are much higher than all tier 3 companies. Also Cisco Meriaki is tier 3. Snap probably tier 4 due to stocks and culture. I would do Google as tier 3 primarily due to low ball offers and lower compensation. Bloomberg as tier 3 because it’s all cash and higher compensation for entry to mid level folks.
Salaries are a bit better at the other tier 3 companies, though. If you ratio me with your comment vs this one, then I'll move Adobe, deal?
Salaries are mostly based on negotiations. If you don’t have counter offer Google and Microsoft will lowball you like crazy. I had eBay offer me more money than Google but Google wouldn’t entertain counter offer other than meta or any other prestige company. You want to rank based on average or median compensation as opposed to being biased towards prestige (which mostly a lot of companies are cashing on lately). Adobe didn’t had mass layoffs like Meta or Microsoft so it’s surely a better company for average joe.
How is plantir T1 ?
The food is really good, new grad TC is basically unbeatable in some locations, supportive work culture and cool product. Not as good for senior devs.
This is mostly prestige list ranking as opposed to TC ranking. I think OP ranked these companies based on how difficult it’s to get hired in them as opposed to their TC. As an e.g two sigma is easy to get hired into if you worked in quant or high reputed company but their interview process is very easy. By no means their work is great or culture. The list is reflection of Op competence more than anything else.
This is why I feel people should not have any free time. On the bright side, I probably should retire at Microsoft.
