The following is a list of some of my acquaintances industries, after working in a number of large technology companies, to collect aggregate out some of the features together. Our varied and extensive work experience, from Fortune 50 companies to start-up companies in Silicon Valley, from the new to the code base to 30 years antique.
Below these features, not only for us, I think the majority of software developers also represents an ideal working environment. While many companies will consider these practices on the list it is impossible to accept, but if the fight is close to this ideal situation, we believe that many programmers, including myself, would want to work for you.
Donated to the open source community strength

Abandon Minimum Viable Product
Believe me, that is a problem, get rid of it after you will be happier.

Rewards should be based on the power line, rather than the hours or length of service
