I was told by an ex-employee of Patagonia that they pay under market wages. This person left the headquarters office for better pay. This is some time ago, things may have changed. They make good products and have renowned corporate ethics.
- milofeynman 6y agoI would personally consider working at Patagonia to be working at a non-profit. Where I take a paycut for the values. See this post for an example as to why they might not be able to pay top dollar: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23601699 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23601699 If they're making value based decisions, they can't maximize profits like your facebooks or walmarts or amazons. Just a consideration.
