Micron - One of the worst places you could ever work. The amount of people coming out of there with PTSD was very high when I was in boise.

Clearwater - Old and boring

T-Sheets - sold to behemoth that will mess it all up

Blackbox VR - some guy who got lucky with a body building forum blowing money

Kount - ya scammy payment processing for the win

HP - reorg and layoffs never ending.

Tons of pretentious digital marketing firms who really only work for hp.

I can go on and on. The tech scene there is a joke don't listen to anyone who says otherwise.

Wow, yeah, that tech scene sounds very similar to what is north of the Columbia River in the Portland area, basically HP (failing forward at an astounding pace) and a bunch of sketchy "tech" companies that aren't great places to work.

Its livable, but not where I'd go out of my way to get a job at.

Why the sentiment? I'm having issues thinking of a company in SV (or anywhere else) that can't be degraded down like that :)
