One of the Bitcoin Core developers work at the MIT Media Lab.  The Bitcoin Foundation don't employ any bitcoin developers at the moment, afaik.  If they do, it must be a very cheap one.   The rest are employed elsewhere, by various companies, own startups etc.  Bitcoin Core is certainly not a company.  It is a very loosely connected group of people who do various amounts of work on bitcoin.
