Yahoo, Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Apple
Too many people assumed that Microsoft, Oracle, Yahoo, and related companies weren't matching offers and were somehow "worse" to work for.
It was exactly the opposite. They were matching offers, and even poaching engineers from the other FAANGs. Yet they never got any respect.
Matching offers is not the only thing that gets you respect.
Microsoft = asshole company
Oracle = asshole company
Yahoo = cringe company
Many people don't want to work for them, no matter what they are offering.
