Ask HN: Who's not sucky to work for?
I loved every minute of my time working at Netflix.  Great, talented coworkers who I could constantly learn from, management chain from bottom to top of former engineers, so they understood when you would say, &quot;I worked on this for a week but have no results because it didn&#x27;t work&quot;.  Plenty of resources to do what you needed to do, and lots of autonomy to do what you thought was right.  Very little process and upper management actively moved to eliminate what little process there was.  Unlimited vacation time that was real -- management took long vacations to set an example and would actively encourage everyone to do the same.  And of course a great paycheck which included 10%+ raises because they made sure that new people didn&#x27;t make more than veterans.<p>I&#x27;ll be the first to admit it&#x27;s not for everyone.  As they say, they are a sports team, not a family.  Perform well and be rewarded handsomely, perform poorly and get cut with a big check.  I personally thrived in that kind of environment, where you always have to keep proving your value.  But not everyone wants to work that way.
