We all know what the shiny, cool companies in the area are.... But what are examples of "unsexy" companies where the people who work there seem really happy? For example, I have a friend who worked with McDonald's digital strategy team, and he loved it.
@Paraton wins, end of thread
How are you liking the Gap?
I like it! (although I don't have a lot to compare it to). In general, people are smart, focused, kind, and cooperative. It's a pretty laid back environment. Most people don't work into the evenings or on weekends, so if work life balance is important, it's a solid place.
How do you know people are smart if you don't have a lot to compare to yet? Just asking. I felt I was no longer the special one when my whole team was smart
Friend of a friend works for Walmart and is hella hyped on it
Heard the exact opposite. Then again living in Bentonville, AR and I'd hate it too.
JFYI, Walmart (Labs) has two offices in the Valley.
Another vote for Walmart. You might get shit for saying you work at Walmart, but you get to work with a modern stack for the second largest online retailer in the USA.
Walmart labs have a great reputation for innovation.
oh yeah? what have they innovated?
Hi
Docusign is in tech and isn't sexy but a great company
Checkr is background checks for companies like Uber, AAA, Netflix, etc. While background checks isn't sexy, the mission and culture truly are unbelievable and everyone who works there is happy, driven and hard working.
Hiring interns? :)
We have one eng intern. Check out Checkr.com/careers
he's loving it, lmao
I suppose I was asking for that
What company is "New"?
