Do they have any kind of profit sharing program?

I'd be kind of pissed if I worked there and made like $70k or whatever, only to read this shit.

Their lowest paid employees still very likely make 6 figures. Valve has historically taken very good care of their employees.

Doubt it. But, for what it's worth, last I heard, valve was one of the most sought after employers in the business. Apparently the salaries are generous and you get to work on whatever you want, not on what a manager tells you to.

If I remember correctly they have performance based bonuses

Levels.fyi data from 1 October 2025 reveals senior engineers at £206,000 ($375,000) total, but Valve's equity-heavy model amplifies this, drawing top talent without micromanagement.

This article was here the other day and made it sound like employees are treated very well.
