Valve is a staple in the world of everything games, consistently pumping out high-quality games that are played years after their release with thriving communities (I still player Half-Life 2 today). While they're possibly most well known for their games which consistently push the bar of what's possible forwards, as with Half-Life Alyx, they are also the company behind "Steam", the largest video game distribution service out there. Known as the go-to service for releasing games from small indie developers to the largest studios.

I'd love to work as a backend, gameplay programmer or game designer in the future. Valve has a proud history of allowing devs to focus on what motivates them and are known for finishing 1 in every 50 projects started. Despite this, their tactics encourage the best out of each developer and allow them to create truly creative and inspirational work.
As such they have a very high bar for entry, you often need at least four years of relevant professional experience and a bachelor degree or similar; Thereby ensuring they truly get the best of the best. While most studios higher programmers, designers and artists, Valve also hires Economists, Psychologists & Data Scientists, i.e Data Science, to create the best experiences possible.
