The best advice someone gave when I was applying was -- Valve hire tech folks who would make great CTO at a small startup. Then compensate accordingly. I know someone. I think this is because they can't risk to ruin the culture.
Jul 24, 4 3. Mmm I kind of think it is, even though you might want to be just a backend developer, they look for this specific type with a bunch of knowledge on game development, renders and such.
I know 6 people who have worked there or are still there. I'll try to summarize what I've learned over the years. While the handbook appears novel and even utopian, valve's culture is "Lord of the Flies.
Indeed, reverse darwinism is rampant; if you are a strong performer, the "fakers" will plot your doom. Flagrant plagiarism and character assassination are common. The CEO, Gabe, is somewhat of a nerd folk hero but as for managing his company he is largely absent.
I'm told he plays video games all day and is autism spectrum to the point of being mute. He allows the frauds to run the show, hire like minded frauds and force out people who deliver but make them look bad by comparison.
I was deeply saddened to hear of this because I'm a valve Dan. The problem is that steam is so lucrative there is no incentive to "ship" anything. If the fakers actually ship something then the spotlight will be on them. Conversely, if they tinker they indefinitely on various projects, because of the money pipeline called steam, there are no bottom line consequences.

Traditional management consultants might shudder at the implications, but Prof Cliff Oswick from Cass Business school - who has studied other experiments in what he calls "non-leadership" - commends the model. He adds that he believes the model works in this case because Valve attracts "elite" performers. But Mr Powers suggests there's another reason for its success.
It works because it was the original philosophy. The firm's stack ranking system is another curiosity. Staff working on the same project rank each others' technical skills, productivity, team-playing abilities and other contributions. The information is then used to create an overall leader-board which then helps determine who gets paid what. Although Valve's record suggests the system can work, Prof Oswick warns that it could go awry were the firm to face a financial setback.
It's something to bear in mind at a time Valve is expected to embark on a potentially costly foray into hardware. In the meantime employees have an expenses-paid week-long holiday to look forward to. The company regularly flies all plus members of staff and their families to a tropical resort, most recently Hawaii.
The idea of spending free-time with workmates might sound like a nightmare to some, but Mr Powers says it is something that he and the others genuinely look forward to.
