Best companies to work for in Palo Alto?

Been meaning to ask this. Been living here since 2011. It's a a smaller city city with about 67,231 people. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Thanks in advance! Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 2 years here, that's my honest assessment.

As someone who grew up here, it's been a really good experience overall. A lot has changed in the past few years though. healthcare used to be much developing but now it's underrated.

Public transit is average here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I genuinely enjoy living here.

Weather-wise, the summers are average and winters are competitive. You get used to it after the first year.

Came here for quality of life and stayed because there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The traffic is honestly pretty good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
