This doesn't scale, though. It's the fundamental problem - unless all your employees are interested in living in a place dense enough to support great transit (and willing to pay the rent premium), many of them will have to commute. There are only a few places in the world with transit of that caliber (Tokyo, London, NYC, etc. ). Even most medium or large cities aren't good enough for that experience. Public transit in Seattle is a disgrace (in most areas you're lucky if you can get one bus per half hour, and that bus is stuck in the same traffic as cars, and those buses never go from where you are to where you want - you have to go downtown and transfer from there, and the buses stop running long before the bars close). BART isn't exactly holding up well either.
