Ask HN: Which companies have great software engineering practices?

Google will definitely be on this list.

Great tooling. Great SW development culture. Strict requirements on code quality. Mandatory testing. Mentorship and continuous reviews for writing good code.

Microsoft. I read their books. They have more principled approach towards SW. Their languages and libraries are well designed.

Agreed.

Yikes at these answers so far.

Here's my list as a computer science geek always attempting to look top down at the industry:

- Cloudflare

- Datadog

- GitLab

- DistroKid

- Spotify

- TransferWise

- Typeform

- Okta (maybe)

This being my short list off the top of my head. Hopefully I can edit with some more later.

Also, a note that I'm currently hiring:

I lead an international role for AB InBev called Z-Tech which is modernizing the last-mile supply chain for all of AB InBev's massive network of subsidiary suppliers.

That said, I'm attempting to model our engineering practices based on some learnings from the above list of companies.

As the NYC alumni "liaison" for the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, I've heard mixed reviews of Pivotal as a dev shop (not a flex; just trying to convey context).

Usually it's very great but in certain cases people feel like they spin their wheels on projects.
