Probably none, they would use something like H1-B.
There is/was a option available for F1 Visa students called OPT (optional practical training). It could in theory run up ~24 months depending on the company having everify or not.
Yes, F1 students can only work on OPT up to 24 months. After that, they require a company to sponsor a visa for future.
