There's a company where employees have no managers and nobody outranks anyone else!

There's a company where employees have no managers and nobody outranks anyone else!

Valve Corporation is an American video game development and digital distributioncompany based in Bellevue, Washington, United States.




Founded in 1996 by former Microsoft employees Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington.Valve became famous for it's critically acclaimed Half-Life and Portal sub-series.




Valve was founded by long-time Microsoft employees Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington on August 24, 1996. Valve is run as a flat organization without bosses, and uses open allocation (employees can move between teams at will).




Yanis Varoufakis, an economist working for Valve, has attempted to place Valve's organization in the context of theories of the firm and broader economic thinking.




Former employee Jeri Ellsworth has, however, criticized this structure as "a lot like high school", where while the structure is flat, certain people within the company still have more say in decisions than others.
