Don't go by a list of companies.

Look for a place that works on something you care about and allows you to apply and build your skills.

That's pretty much something a grown up has to figure out individually.

Not really. What matters is whether the company has the political power to get you a VISA in a modern country.

Every grown up has figured it out.

Not everybody needs a VISA. Not every company is in the US.

Have you lived in a place when you are scared to listen to music on a bus that you ride for hours every day, because you are afraid that people will rob your mobile phone (which is practically all you have)?

This is reality for hundreds of millions or billions of people who just want to live somewhere safe.
