> they just aren't as immediately obvious to find as FAANG

Sounds like you'd need to spend some time to find these :)

To your other points, I get feeling revulsion to Google or Facebook, but I feel there are other companies like Netflix or Stripe that are ethically fine. The idea that the employees are generally overworked doesn't mesh with my lived experience the bay area, I have a fairly wide social circle and I don't know anyone putting in more than 40 hours a week at a big tech company unless they're trying to climb the ladder super fast. I think we also may have to agree to disagree on whether all leetcode is intellectually dishonest. 4 leetcode hard problems is a silly way to interview, but when working on problems at scale I appreciate a gut check problem on big O and an algorithmic workhorse like depth-first search or something.

I'm glad you understand the gut revulsion aspect, at least (which in my view applies to the 'A' companies as well, but that's a side topic).

Meanwhile your data points on 'N' and 'S' are appreciated and I will add them to my (mental) notes.
