Great Food, High Rent
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Cupertino, California, United States
November 15, 2024
Pros: Healthy environment with amazing food. Bikes to bike around other campuses, which helps clear your mind to be refreshed. I believe it actually makes you mentally smarter because of these things. Strong Chinese community if you're that.
Cons: Unfortunately, the best people aren't there as perceived. But you can't blame the biggest tech company in the world. It can feel like working for the government. Rent is extremely high around the area.
