When it comes to working in the tech industry, the myth is that the best employers are the biggies, like Facebook and Google.
And it's true that those are fabulous tech companies that pay well and shower employees with perks.
But for those that prefer the a small-company atmosphere, there's no shortage of great employers, too.
