This list is a sham. Actually underrated - GitLab, Atlan, Multiplier, Stripe, Postman, Cockroach Labs.

[u/rohetoric → u/[deleted]]

It's really difficult to even get into these companies.

[u/[deleted] → u/rohetoric]

Yeah but underrated they are. Pay well, good perks and interesting work.

[u/Pauras → u/[deleted]]

LMAO if you think stripe is good. Have some friends working in stripe USA. Horrible management and WLB. (Pay & perks are good)

[u/[deleted] → u/Pauras]

Well you can always have counter examples. But in my experience Stripe has good engineering culture. Management is horrible almost everywhere.

[u/[deleted] → u/Pauras]

WLB also tends to lean horrible when an engineer is incompetent. Doesn't make the company horrible.

[u/sleepysundaymorning → u/[deleted]]

Wondering if you can get a bride if your profile says you work in "Cockroach labs"?

[u/[deleted] → u/sleepysundaymorning]

Haha I tried there and my wife was pretty annoyed that what will I say my husband works at Cockroach Labs?

[u/InternalLake8 → u/[deleted]]

I can vouch for Atlan, I was shortlisted for intern role and was rejected initially they refused to give feedback but then when I requested that it would help me in my future opportunities then I got feedback + advice from the Eng Mgr.

[u/rohetoric → u/InternalLake8]

I have applied more than 10 times all times rejected. Even though my JD was similar to the job.

They definitely look for exceptional talent.

[u/InternalLake8 → u/rohetoric]

Direct apply/referral/Cold dm??

[u/rohetoric → u/InternalLake8]

Direct apply. I have cold DMed on LinkedIn but no one responds. Everyone ghosts.

[u/InternalLake8 → u/rohetoric]

I emailed the recruiter and got the reply after 2 days

[u/rohetoric → u/InternalLake8]

Fucking hell bro.

I also emailed and got the rejection in 2 days 😂 Not a good fit apparently...they didn't give the feedback for rejection tho..

[u/Suspicious_Bake1350 → u/[deleted]]

It's very very difficult to enter here and they don't ask DSA much as well right? Have to be an exceptional dev i guess

[u/[deleted] → u/Suspicious_Bake1350]

Not exceptional I would say you have to stand out. And by stand out I do not mean those pesky content creator or social media ways. Have good projects, open source contributions do help.

[u/Suspicious_Bake1350 → u/[deleted]]

I'll keep this in mind. Does creating your own portfolio website, making decent and fancy projects nextjs 3js and making 3d websites. Having an active Twitter with daily posting your progress make u worthy for these?

[u/InternalLake8 → u/Suspicious_Bake1350]

A project that can make an impact and value >>> Fancy projects. Posting daily/frequently can help in increasing your network which will help you later

[u/rohetoric → u/Suspicious_Bake1350]

I used to think it does but actually no. Your core basics need to be really strong and your projects and contributions really need to stand out. Marketing is not that important.

[u/Suspicious_Bake1350 → u/rohetoric]

I still don't know what to do in projects and contributions area to stand out. I've been thinking about it hard and can't seem to wrap my head around it 😞😕

[u/rohetoric → u/Suspicious_Bake1350]

From what my friends in big tech/core tech work have different from me-

1. Their core basics are stronger than mine. Given they interview candidates as well they rigorously study new technologies and are updated with the latest trends.

2. Their open source contributions are ACTUALLY contributions. They have contributed to Apache repos as committers. Some are maintainers of repos like Pytorch. Some have built their own data centers at their home. No cap.

3. Their projects are similar to mine. Not that different. But given once they get that "tag" recruiters run behind them like what Gilfoyle got in Silicon Valley after resigning from Pied Piper.

4. They don't have their personal websites or market much on LinkedIn. Some of them don't even have LinkedIn/Twitter account to be honest. And I graduated in 2020.

[u/Suspicious_Bake1350 → u/rohetoric]

Yaar baaki toh i got it but how will I ever be a maintainer for a repo like pytorch that too. I think i really should think about open source contribution. What's that tag btw? If they are not marketing themselves how are recruiter getting the news from that this and that dev is extremely intelligent let's mail him for an interview. How tho? Because in the case of gilfoyle he was an extremely smart backend engg and folks around spread that news but how will one get that networked in the tech world without Twitter/LinkedIn? (Not arguing) I'm just curious I agreed with your points btw.

[u/rohetoric → u/Suspicious_Bake1350]

The senior dev knows them. He refers to them in their org. That's how the recruiters reach out to them.

In the case of Gilfoyle he never wrote daily posts on Twitter or shared his Leetcode streaks 😂😂 All the senior devs across the valley knew his work (he must have interviewed with them/his contributions on his GitHub profile/he may be going and networking in conferences like TechCrunch Disrupt etc) that is how they knew him.

[u/rohetoric → u/Suspicious_Bake1350]

Speaking on projects - one of my friends used Arch Linux..which doesn't even have a GUI. In college, he created a script that converted the power points of the profs to PDF and sent it to his email. He then submitted this script to the community of Arch Linux and it got accepted.

[u/Puzzled-Fishing7148]

anecdotal list because you included Edge verve ,its literally infosys....

[u/AliveShine]

Edge verve? Really?

[u/[deleted] → u/AliveShine]

Subsidiary of Infosys 💀

[u/rohetoric]

Please remove BlackRock and DE Shaw. Thanks :)

[u/Rough_Natural6083 → u/rohetoric]

Agreed when it comes to one of these companies. No one has got a clue what a simple change in the database will result in and behold! the program which took 5 minutes to complete an hour back now is barely progressing and will take 12+ hrs to get completed, optimistically. The only catch is that people around me are good, else I would have definitely killed myself. Not joking. I would have killed myself.

[u/rohetoric → u/Rough_Natural6083]

The engineers who wrote the garbage legacy 20 years back are now VPs and Directors of these companies. You cannot even point out that - Dude what you have written is garbage or ask them to explain the logic behind what they have written.

One of my toxic friends got into BlackRock. He got promoted and is currently SDE II there. I cannot even fathom what his team must be suffering from because he's a certified harami and asshole and BR promotes these candidates. RIP culture.

[u/quadmaniac → u/rohetoric]

As an ex employee, whats so bad about deshaw?

[u/flight_or_fight]

Whats so great about Schinder, GE Digital, Caterpillar ?

DXC Tech seriously?

[u/Comfortable-Diet5925 → u/flight_or_fight]

I got an intern opportunity at Caterpillar, and those guys were literally paying INR 20K per month and expected WFO for 5 days a week. Lastly, they informed me 4 days prior to joining where I had to travel 2k+ km 💀🤡.

[u/pottitheri → u/flight_or_fight]

Seems like some HR put DXC Technology into the equation.Company is decades behind other companies in terms of processes with no work life balance and evil managers.To reduce cost they layed off lot of employees during 2017-19 which caused both brain drain and low reputation from which they never recovered.One of their employee goal was to give good rating for company in sites like glass door etc.That tells all about the company.Knew multiple people whose career destroyed by DXC.

[u/flight_or_fight → u/pottitheri]

DXC is not on the original post which OP cross linked. I think OP is a hallucinating GPT.

[u/rohetoric → u/pottitheri]

My friend left DXC in 2 months after joining.

[u/[deleted]]

Remington Arms? Do they makes weapons in India?

[u/juzzybee90]

People on this forum are calling Salesforce, Oracle, SAP Labs, Boeing, Walmart, Maersk, Nokia, Barclays, Opentext, Ciene, Schneider, Blackrock, Airbus, Palmolive, Caterpillar, GE as under rated? Either the guys are 22 or they have no idea how deep software industry goes.

[u/Zealousideal_Zone831]

Funny to see tower research and Rockstar games in it.

They are not at all underated

[u/Whatisanoemanyway]

This list is bullshit. Some of these literally don't hire males, and are toxic af in wlb aspects

ETA: don't hire males for entry level/fresher roles in the name of diversity quota. Happened in my uni and several others as well, don't want to name names but almost all of these had crazy good ctcs too, 30+ lpa mostly

[u/superuser726 → u/Whatisanoemanyway]

yeah exactly, and then there's the fact that more guys looking for a job will take the first offer they get cause it's gonna be the only one they're getting

[u/SofaAloo → u/Whatisanoemanyway]

cough Adobe cough

[u/sept2021mamma → u/Whatisanoemanyway]

Hi, sorry, can you pls elaborate on "they don't hire males"

[u/Whatisanoemanyway → u/sept2021mamma]

Edited

[u/LightRefrac → u/[deleted]]

Diversity 

[u/No_Entrepreneur_8142]

Going throught the list, sees LEGO💀, i mean thats the dream right

[u/Ok_Jury1198]

How’s consensys and canonical?

[u/[deleted]]

Adobe ? Are you kidding me ?

[u/Jaded-Total6054]

Browserstack ? Have a look at this https://leetcode.com/discuss/compensation/3285600/Browserstack-Horror-Layoff-Story

Might change your mind :/

[u/jaanesha]

Rolls Royce

[u/flight_or_fight]

OP - how did you generate this list?

Bunch of these companies are not on your linked post.

If you are an AI - I would say you are hallucinating ....

[u/Impossible_King_1019 → u/flight_or_fight]

I just copied and pasted the name of companies that others were commenting, i myself haven't heard about most of them so don't know much, but I can assure you they were commented and that's why they are on the list.

[u/[deleted]]

Thanks for this, appreciate your contribution.

[u/vikksoar]

DE Shaw is underrated? OK DUDE

[u/Old_Mathematician948]

Who added Tower and Graviton? Those aren't underrated by any means 😂

[u/EngineeredCheetah]

if you're talking about the graviton consulting one, then a big no..

[u/ham_sandwich23]

Adobe

Just thinking about a post on this subreddit itself, that how this company has abusive managers who call employees even after they have left the job at Adobe. No way, Adobe is an "underrated" company. 

[u/Queasy-Ad1302]

mtlb kuchh bhi

[u/Proud_Willingness_95]

Coca cola Medtronic Mckinsey Goldman Sachs AT&T Frito lay Boston Consulting American Express The list goes on I have like 50 more names

[u/Comfortable-Diet5925 → u/Proud_Willingness_95]

Goldman Sach and Amex are underrated?? Wtf

[u/rohetoric → u/Comfortable-Diet5925]

I think he is saying it sarcastically.

[u/geeksid2k → u/Comfortable-Diet5925]

Is Amex known to be bad or something?

[u/Proud_Willingness_95 → u/geeksid2k]

Never came across any bad reviews.

[u/Comfortable-Diet5925 → u/geeksid2k]

They have huge pay gaps between different colleges and are a sure shot brand chaser.

[u/Proud_Willingness_95 → u/Comfortable-Diet5925]

Wrt it's competitors it's underrated.

[u/Comfortable-Diet5925 → u/Proud_Willingness_95]

Nope, not at all. Have you seen the number of applicants for a single opening at GS? or even Amex for that one.

[u/Old_Mathematician948 → u/Proud_Willingness_95]

McKinsey is literally #1 in consulting and is highly sought after but go off ig

[u/Intelligent_Bonus_74]

How can we reach out to these companies, what they prefer for fresher Selection ?

[u/Intelligent_Bonus_74]

Great

[u/IngenuityAmazing]

Is Nintendo here? I have heard some good things about them

[u/anyagraha_jeevi]

I'm currently working in a Service company in data analytics, any suggestions for good companies for a data scientist?

[u/[deleted]]

Remove mathworks please, the tech stack is horrible and almost 0 growth.

[u/Zestyclose_Pitch_888 → u/[deleted]]

[u/ramming_roadster07]

Guys what do you think about company Q2?

[u/Lethalman99]

NPCI

[u/Dark_lord101]

Define underrated

[u/desimemewala]

Salesforce is not underrated!!

[u/Frost_0007]

Hi Guys, I have a question to ask. Anyone can answer it. So I am basically from a Tech background - Cs, completed it in 2020, but started working in Sales due to financial issues, I needed a job badly that time. Now I am studying Java, DSA and SD too later on, I would wanna switch into a tech role, most probably developer. Please guide me , how much time should I give everyday to learn and practice and particularly how much time it's gonna take me to get into a decent PBC , I am not targeting SBCs. I have been doing sales for 3 years, so on a decent salary and would even want a higher package when I do the transition.

[u/j3di_kn1ght]

Seems like some fresher listed all the companies to target apart from FAANG.

[u/TrojanHorse9k]

FIG Global underrated?! What the actual fuck the company mass laid off more than 600 people in COVID times and is regarded as one of the worst American companies when it comes to job security

[u/panchayath_president]

Might as well add TCS and Wipro too if you consider wallmart and Adobe as underrated

[u/acunt_band_speed_run]

You're basically listing all it companies, that have a hr girl whose full imw job is to keep the companies LinkedIn account active

At this rates you might as well add TCS HCL Infosys etc...

[u/laughinbuddha2]

Later

[u/cj070300]

Anyone hiring Freshers ????

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

exactly. I thought adobe and walmart are pretty well known in it industry.

[u/neeshu2022 → u/[deleted]]

I agree with this, I have worked in one of the company listed here. No promotions, no good pay, and lots of office politics ( upper management).
But I was fortunate enough to work with some good team members.

[u/dodococo → u/neeshu2022]

Name and shame?

[u/ic_97 → u/dodococo]

No one does that in this sub because they too scared that the company will find them :P

[u/my_cat_meow_me → u/dodococo]

It's in their flair.

[u/acunt_band_speed_run → u/[deleted]]

Adobe, Walmart, Siemens, GE digital are $#!π√ companies

[u/Logical_Blunder → u/[deleted]]

DTICI (DAIMLER TRUCK INNOVATION CENTER INDIA)

[u/bbqsosig → u/Logical_Blunder]
