Blind, the anonymous employee chat app for employees, polled thousand of people who work at tech companies to ask them the kinds of sensitive questions that you normally can't ask: Do you think you are paid fairly? Are you interested in leaving your job?
Not surprisingly, those two things were closely related. Those companies that had the most employees unhappy with their pay also had the most employees interested in leaving.
There were a lot of other interesting tidbits revealed in the survey as well. The employees happiest with their pay are not working at Google or Facebook, for example, they are at Netflix, followed by Dropbox.
Of course, this survey isn't representative of the companies -- it reflects only the opinions of employees who choose to use the Blind app. But those opinions provide an interesting window into the mood, at least among some staffers, within tech's biggest companies.

Years ago, I submitted my resume for a job at Netflix. I received a rejection literally within minutes. The fucked up thing is that it was at 11pm at night.

Grossly misleading title
Since we aren't provided with the number of employees from each company that did participate, this data doesn't tell us anything.

Years ago I read about how tremendously difficult it was to even remain employed by Netflix since they weed out anyone who isn't a top performer.
Maybe that was only in their software/hardware branch but it seems to me that attitude would be reflected all across the business
