2014 most coveted Silicon Valley's 10 biggest start-ups

In order to attract talent, technology companies are always sparing no effort in environmental treatment. Top salaries, free meals, unlimited vacations, free transportation and other generous conditions make technology companies attractive. There are 22 technical companies in the 50 most suitable companies for the 2014 years of work and career community Glassdoor. The top 5 of LinkedIn's selection results are technology companies (Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, saleforce.com).

In recent years, there has been a trend in the technology companies, the mechanism of flexible culture of loose start-ups are increasingly favored by engineers. So which startups are most popular with American engineers? LinkedIn, a professional social networking network, recently surveyed more than 300,000 of its members, ranking 10 of their most wanted Bay Area start-ups (fewer than 500 employees).

These startups are distributed in the fields of computer software, online education, Internet/crowdsourcing, biotechnology, health care, financial services, photography, consumer electronics, etc. The number one is Lytro, a start-up that has invented a light field camera that can be used to focus first. Number two is the health technology start-up Theranos, ranked third in the health-tracking technology start-up Fitbit.

For startups, getting into LinkedIn's InDemand rankings is a good sign. Just look at the current performance of last year's list of companies. Last year's list of startups included 6 valuations already between 1 billion and 10 billion dollars (Dropbox, Pinterest, Cloudera, Jawbone, Tutanix, Hortonworks), and another 3 already on the market (GoPro, violin Memory, nimble Storage).

To be sure, LinkedIn's members have an excellent track record of picking winners. Think again about the 2012-year list of startups.
