I have personally turned down offers in Seattle for being too low, as have other engineers I know. These days I would have to be very excited about a position to bother responding if it didn't list salary, because my assumption is that it's too low to list - so "we don't list the salary" is not necessarily the same as "we know that our salary isn't what's limiting our applicant pool".

Interesting experience. I assume if no salary is listed, they are paying "market rate." For me, I've learned how to negotiate effectively, and as such, can get the compensation that I want. It's not a skill that a lot of people have, so having a salary listing makes it easier.
