Ok, where are the companies using FreeBSD?

How do you get hired if you do happen to have proper FreeBSD skills? It's notably absent from all the job listings.

Well, I mean... Netflix is the example I think most people have heard of:

But it's still a pretty small market share.

Word is that NetApp and Juniper are using FreeBSD. What these have in common is that they rely heavily on FreeBSD's I/O performannce and capabilities which is said to be head and shoulders above Linux.

Playstation is based on FreeBSD, so I would guess that Sony has some serious FreeBSD people working there who created one of the most popular a video game console - that's pretty cool

Not quite twenty years ago Yahoo! was using (also, I suspect) FreeBSD.
