Amazon

A good place to work. Smart people, doing small jobs as well as big jobs. You will own something. Good pay.

Get ready to be frugal. This is normally a good thing, but sometimes it is a fault when not managed intelligently.

If you don't like something at the company, you can change it, but get ready to fight an uphill battle.

Still better than M$ though when it comes to inspiring change.

Treat devs like royalty. You need them. They are the bread and butter.

Give them even more pay (although they are already paid well). They will build your business.

The devs here are smart, and many of them are capable of managing very, very large portions of the business. Find engineers that show business aptitude and elevate them in the company instead of hiring some MBAs.

Keep thinking long term, and empower devs with the resources and time to do things right the first time, in a sustainable manner. Jeff Bezos rocks; he's an inspiring leader.
