      You're doing what you need to do to protect yourself, not make enemies, not make news etc, but what you're doing isn't really helping anyone IMO. You don't give these companies (or their employees!) a chance to defend the culture they have now vs what you think they had years ago

      You assume all of these companies still exist to defend themselves. Many abused their employees, lied to them, exploited them through lots of crunching, and then went under leaving their employees high and dry. In many cases the founders go and do it all over again.

      Most (all?) of the resistance to these basic concepts comes from highly privileged, highly paid corporate tech company employees. I suspect you are too far in the trees to see the forest here.

      If the companies you have categorised are now defunct then you can name them and people can do their own detective work for where the founders went to next and therefore which companies to avoid.

      There isn't any amount of money Microsoft could pay me that would mean I'd recommend to friends and colleagues to come and work here if it was a genuinely bad place to work. I'll defend the company where it's unfairly maligned and push for improvement where criticism is valid.

      If you want to criticise Microsoft (or any other company) in the open then expect pushback from those who feel your outdated perception of said company is no longer correct. To date your criticisms are behind a veil of pseudo secrecy that just come across as moaning to me.

      I never said "Microsoft" anywhere, yet you are inferring that one of my categories (which one?) perfectly fits Microsoft - to a tee.

      Replying to @richgel999 @kenpex and

      I wasn't inferring any of the categories referred to Microsoft, no. You've leveled criticisms at the company in the past that I felt were unfair, but I didn't have a category in mind for MSFT. Presumably you have at least one company in mind for each of your categories though?

      Listen man, I'm not pointing fingers at specific companies. Period. Unfortunately, due to the rarity of some of these company types (like #1), a handful of my categories were inspired by a single company. I couldn't even post these observations if I started naming companies.

      Also, you and others are assuming these company types were inspired by just my experiences. Most are, but not all. Some are from other tech company workers. I can't name them.

      As for Microsoft, so far I've had very few good experiences or interactions with this corporation. I've been burned on basically every single interaction sooner or later. MS purposely outright lied and exploited 100+ of my fellow coworkers at Ensemble Studios.

          I've seen some out of control, basically crazy shit going on inside of MS relatively recently. I mean totally crazy, abusive, insane stuff. So this definitely colors my opinion of this corporation.

          With that being said, I know that MS is trying to change and there are good teams there. But there are clusters of insanity there too. I do respect MS's software greatly (I use it every single day).

          My original point was never about MSFT, just my feeling that what you post doesn't help anyone without more specifics. I don't doubt bad tech companies exist and even that MSFT has groups within it that aren't/weren't great. But knowing who to avoid before you join is key.
