I like your list and I think its helpful how you broke out many of the items into individual categories instead of just lumping them into 'culture'.

To me, I think think the list changes over time too. What might seem important to developer in their first 5 years would be different later on. I know my priorities have changed....

In the past I used to enjoy places that rewarded personal projects and such...but now less so. I'm more keen to keep my personal projects totally personal and do non-work learning on my own time.

Thanks for the kind comment, Jen.

I completely agree that the list should change over time. What I looked for in a company in my early twenties is very different to what I value now and is probably going to be different 5-10 years from now. Thank you for highlighting this :)

I think its also important to clarify that what is important for me might not be important for someone else even if they are at the same stage in life.
