Checkout Intentional Software. It's a startup of about 70 people funded and led by billionaire CTO Charles Simonyi. They built a platform for developing domain-specific languages (on top of the CLR), and are now developing some pretty incredible collaborative productivity apps on top of that platform. Their recruiting slogan is "this is why you chose computer science," and after interning there for 6 months I can say that's 100% accurate.

Pay and benefits are equivalent to what you'd get at Microsoft or Amazon, without the corporate BS.

This company was founded more than a decade ago. Why do you think it is a startup? Aren't they profitable and/or do they have poor work-life balance?

The benefits look lower than that of MS's, at least for the internship. Is the data on http://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Intentional-Software-Salarie... not accurate?
