Looking for U.S. employers that sponsor work visas but prefer companies that are not the usual mega-brands? Below is a researched list of mid-size and growing U.S. companies (tech, fintech, biotech, logistics, and gaming) that have recently sponsored employment visas (H-1B and related filings). I used each company’s careers/home page (or home page when a direct careers link was not obvious).
