I find these rankings to be really arbitrary. They should really have them split into categories like they have them for types of schools people like to go to (engineering schools, big city schools, hipster schools, ivies, facing-saving schools for ivy rejects etc.),

Perfect Places for A Personality People also Like Cults (Amazon, Bridgewater Associates)

Places for people who like to Chillax and Still Get Paid (Lucrative BigCo with flex-time, summer hours, no morning standups, WFH)

Places for parents (BigCo with generous maternal leaves, daycare or benefits for families)

Places for brogrammers (Genius formerly known as RapGenius)

Places for 'Silicon Valley' Show Lovers (Company mission statement that includes the phrase "change the world," Nerf Guns part of office deco, uncompromising nature to adopt the latest cool tech like Node.js)

Places for introverts (Places with offices for employees, not open office plans, WFH options; in fields that are less sales-oriented and more academic, niche research companies)

Curious if anyone else has any ideas on the 'ecology' of tech companies and what 'animals' are best fit for which one!
