And I know individuals who have been at a company who have done it for a short time or a while.
But is there a list of US based companies that offer a 4 day work week or less? I did some googling and didn't find much.
Likely sub-100% work time is something you'd have to negotiate with your managers after spending some time at a company, not right from day 1. One case I've seen - a guy working 50% between google and PhD (working on alternating weeks) flat out said there's no way in hell he'd get hired into this kind of arrangement - it was only after building trust with management and moving to a team with lower workload/stress.

The really surprising thing for me was how willing my company was to accommodate me once I made it clear I wanted to reduce hours - I think people have a lot more negotiation power than they think they do
I would love to add more to the list, or if you know of any that aren't on there, please open a pull request!
These are all companies that have a standard 32 hour week with no reduction in pay.
In my country most companies offer 35 hours/week jobs, the country's average is 33 hours and it's illegal to work more than 48 hours including extra hours, but I know that in countries like Germany, the Netherlands or France is less than 30 (Germany is 26 if I am not wrong).
It's mostly public jobs and white collars here, I work as a software engineer for a large insurance company and the standard insurance contract is 33 hours a week, I have a different contact and nominally I should do 40 hours, but working from home I do about 30, full salary (nobody checks the hours anymore).
During the pandemic I had no chances of going on holiday, so I kept working and I still have 40 days of paid vacation left from 2020+2021.
It's pretty standard here.
