The larger and older the company, the lower the risk for every employee. Every employee adds to (new productivity)/(new risk + existing stability), that small amount turns out to be a lot when you go from one to two employees but not a lot when you go from 100 to 101 employees.

I've been very impressed with the way that Microsoft, Dell, Intel are willing to take the time to onboard new employees. (Although some prefer interning them first)

You can also look into research / government support. Government organizations or government contractors are usually not as competitive financially, although more competitive on most other dimensions. "No one gets rich at JPL" was a phrase often joked about by people that had spent 20+ years in that sort of work. Many of the younger people at GrammaTech & Galois were hired right out of college. They're stability comes from a different business model.
