Plenty of companies if you don't limit yourself to "startups".

For instance, my company (I'm the Director of Technology) is like that (just listened to DHH's interview on Ruby Rogues this morning, so many of these are fresh in my mind):

1) Pay talent fairly

2) Customers are more important than technology

3) Small team

4) Reasonable hours

5) Tight focus

6) Trust your talent

7) Remote friendly (people think this first when they think Basecamp, but I think that's just one piece of the culture)

(And since it will be asked: No, we're not currently "hiring", but always interested in conversations if you reach out to me)

Great advice. Here’s a good list of remote-friendly companies: https://github.com/remoteintech/remote-jobs/blob/master/READ...

Discourse is not hiring right now but we will definitely be hiring a lot more in the year to come. We’re all of the things above, plus a 100% Rails based, open source product.
