a completely subjective, incomplete, maybe even totally incorrect (I mean probably not totally…), list of companies that it would be awesome to work at.
yes.
| company | location | jobs |
|---|---|---|
| Panic | Portland, OR | go → |
| Rogue Amoeba | Boston, MA | go → |
| teenage engineering | Stockholm, Sweden | go → |
| Polyend | Olsztyn, Poland | go → |
yeah no exactly, it’s a meaningless way of describing companies. I mean awesome means they’re not terrible, but what’s “terrible”? like… what if Enron’s work-life balance was actually excellent… errrr sorry
awesome companies are companies that do awesome work, have awesome people, and are fun and pleasant to work at.
it’s something about whether projects are fun/playful, whether that company is contributing to making the world a better, more beautiful, more quirky and delightful place (or is it about squeezing out more delta from the alpha from the - you know, making something more efficient in a way that makes everything slighly more terrible)
I mean, “””"”I know when I see it””, but applied to tech-y-ish companies? sure, there will be disagreements and that’s fine. but you know.
awesome companies.
companies that are not dreadful. but more than that. cause that’s too low of a bar…
this list came out of a discussion at the Recurse Center. I’ve been making stuff there.
