Palo Alto: Palantir
- Patrick_Devine 13y agoand VMware, which is the largest non-hospital, non-Stanford employer in town.
- presty 13y agoAdded. Forgot about those (shame on me). Specially Palantir, since their building is right across the Caltrain.
- prostoalex 13y agoTesla Motors headquarters by VMWare and SAP also employs quite a few.
- peterwoo 13y agoAlso, Nvidia, and Applied Materials in Santa Clara. Xilinx, Altera, and Maxim in San Jose. Silicon Valley still has lots of silicon tech!
- spartango 13y agoWhile an awesome company, Palantir is hardly the biggest or most prominent tech company in Palo Alto. Even though giant Sun Microsystems is gone, HP, VMWare, SAP, Lockheed and other giants remain. Loral Space Systems (by 101) is one of the city's biggest employers. Indeed, as a general point, I do hope that Palo Alto is not known solely for Palantir, but also for its many long-standing institutions. From Stanford and the Palo Alto Unified School District's amazing (top-ranked) public schools, to its 6 libraries (for 66,000 people). --A Palo Alto native (born and raised).
