While it's catchy and hip to say that nobody wants to work for these companies, the reality is hundreds of thousands do. Both your example companies may not be popular with the cool kids and have their own controversies, but they offer great pay, benefits and consist of a lot of smart people.
- rdw 6y agoThey don't really have great pay, though, do they? They can't afford to pay what qualified employees demand in California. So they move to a state where the average expected salary is lower. Oracle's reputation was of abysmal pay for senior employees, for decades. I'm willing to bet that economically they should have moved a long time ago, but Larry Ellison's pride kept them in the Bay Area. He designed the campus buildings to look like database icons, that's not something you give up easily.
