The list is actually missing the only two companies I ever dreamed of joining. Red Hat and Gitlab. Never made it, but I was close with RedHat.

#12"Tesla or TikTok" ....yeesh
Re: Which company would you prefer to join?
#13Would need an option "to not join the other" when asking why.
Yep. Every time a "trading" company came up like Jane Street my only option was to select the other.

#14Hard to say when I don't know the details. I prefer Work Life Balance and the people, but how would I know if MongoDB .. or whoever, is a fit?

You dodged a bullet since it's IBM now :)

#16"Which company would you prefer to join if you had extensive info about all those companies" would be a more appropriate title.
I clicked hoping it's some sort of quiz about what i prefer to work on and how work is done, that will eventually recommend me a few companies.

#17Weird that the reasons don't include anything about the actual work. The work I envisage doing is a much more important reason than, say, prestige to me.
I mean for either company you are going to be helping a company to chase profits. There is nothing wrong with that. But let’s not pretend there is a deeper meaning to work than to exchange labor for money. None of these companies will see you as any more than a number. The only deciding factor would be remote work and money.

Primary reason for my choices was I didn’t want the other company. Do I want to work for Instacart? Not really. Do I prefer working for Instacart over Tesla? Well, I’d rather go back to hand digging trenches in the rain than work for Tesla, so yeah I prefer Instacart.
Same here.
The first ~10 companies I saw were a dumpster fire.
I think that US companies in general are better on average than this.

#19So... it's Hot or Not, but with a two-point scale and for companies, rather than people?
Re: Which company would you prefer to join?
#20Should maybe add "brand recognition" or something like that.
Some of these companies, I only know by name. And if I'm stuck between two unknown companies, I'll go with the one that I've seen the most. Not really prestige, but because their branding / exposure / whatever.
