I have no idea if such company exists:<p>- No politics. If the whole team agrees that something benefits their work then we will try it out. I do not have any respect for managers sabotaging team decisions because of gut feelings. Hard facts count. I can help getting those, just ask.<p>- Working fully remotely from Europe.<p>- No BS. No, your video serving backend written in Ruby which does 3k requests/min isn't something to brag about. No, you do not need to brag about your Sales guy who brought in 200$ more revenue this month. Let me fix this bug for you in production and save a few servers of your AWS bill.<p>- I don't care if it's Ruby/Java/Scala/Go/Erlang/Self Invented Foo<p>- No Perl.<p>- No quizzes during interviews.<p>- Even though I am only a software engineer everyone around me says that I get stuff done. Ownership does not stop at QA/OPS/PROD/Customer Support. I love finished products, not pushing lines of code to git. Empower me.<p>- Smart colleagues<p>Looking at these few criterias I should start paying people to find such companies.
Google.<p>Not to mention the free lunch at their office café, a wide variety of indoor gaming options and a lounge seating instead of traditional desk and chair as Google's workspace...<p>I also love the idea, that they have a weekly Thank God it’s Friday (TGIF) meeting where any employees can communicate freely and openly. They also have an annual satisfaction survey and I believe that transparency are a huge part of their success.
If I had to choose from existing companies and ones that I know of that exist, probably Google. Mainly because there are insanely smart people there I feel I could learn from. The added perks and good pay is also nice.
My own company. You all know the reasons if you work as a developer at any sort of company, so I won't go into it. I need to not work under other people. "Other people" seems to not like this idea.
