Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, Google, Amazon, and Facebook waaaay far behind. I would never work at Facebook for moral reasons and I believe their best days are years behind them already. Netflix and Google may be tied, heard Netflix culture can be toxic. Google depends on product

Thanks for responding. Yeah I definitely don't plan on being remote 100%, at least in the beginning if I'm starting a new job.

Microsoft/Google/Facebook >= Apple/Netflix >>>> Amazon

For business and product roles, I simply have no complaints about Microsoft. It is as intense as you want it to be. It may not pay the highest in the cohort you mentioned but is absolutely comparable with consulting firms for non-Partner levels.

Plus don’t forget our full 401k match! And ESPP

Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Netflix, Apple.

Reasons: Seattle is much cheaper to live in, and M/A are in or close to the city, so commuting is fast and easy vs a haul from SF to the south bay. Msft wins on WLB too. Amazon culture is more intense but seems to be calming down over time.

Google is best in the bay, with Facebook slipping behind due to culture/wlb rumors. Netflix and Apple seem particularly cult like, so they are last for me. But Apple is dead last for me because they are a product focused cult, and I prefer android/pc, and that would be a big problem there. Netflix seems to be cult like regarding how they run the company, which is less likely to conflict with my product/media preferences.

Google, FB, Netflix/Apple, Microsoft ?

Why?

FB has a somewhat better culture than Google but it’s more coddling to their employees

Netflix culture is pretty well documented. It’s high burn but high reward

Responses so far are pretty interesting—doesn’t seem like there’s a clear consensus

Just saw that Airbnb's salary range for a 2+ years experience Data Scientist in US is 129k -180k USD.
In INR its 95L- 1.4cr. But in India do they pay even 30L to 4 years yoe?
Last year I saw such salary range for 4+ yoe in US. But in India its yet to increase.
In this quarter these companies have started negotiating in the name of US recession. Irony is salary range didn't decrease in the place where the recession is supposed to occur.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
