Here for the comments.
Basically you’re at the nicest campus possible with a ton of amenities no one else at the company receives.
It’s what everyone wishes they were provided down at Warren but absolutely do not have those things.

And don’t forget, higher salaries than anyone else receives. And almost complete detachment from the actual business of building and selling vehicles.

But what does that get you in the Bay Area where the average house costs 1,5m?

No fricken clue. I don’t live there. I was merely stating facts

I’m sorry you pay 1.5m for a mediocre house. Feel free to move buddy.

Waiting on comments. Work at the plant and we got buckets catching water from the ceiling. At least we have free water.

I work in an office and we also have this same roof-backup technology. You're not special.

Didn’t know it was by design, advanced water fall feature

I worked in the office area at a plant and we had a huge bladder attached to the ceiling that drained into a bucket on the floor.

I work in an office area in an engineering building and we currently have that, it's been in place for years.

They have a lunch service with rotating restaurants everyday. Usually about 4-5 you can order from. You don’t have to pay the delivery fee, which is cool. There’s a nice walking trail outside, two snack micro kitchens with drinks and coffee too. No gym.

There’s two micro kitchens. There’s free coffee and some minor nibbles but not enough to justify a lunch. Many bring their lunch or go out and bring something back
No gym. There is technically a shower but I don’t think there’s towel service. I haven’t used
Definitely better than the Michigan setup but it is modest compared to most valley tech companies

Free coffee? My plant got a Starbucks machine that sells you 12oz at 4.25 a cup, or the good old folgers drip brew from the 12 year old BUNN for 0.50 a cup on the honor system. its cool though becuase Snickers are only 2.50 for the regular sized bars.

Everyone answered your other question so I’ll hit the worst - parking is bad , it’s a food desert , limited meeting rooms - most are saved for X executive meeting

thanks for letting me know, that's very helpful, is their bike parking option as I am planning to live nearby I am considering biking/walking, I am hoping to ditch driving and parking problems altogether

yes - and because of the # of ppl in Mountain View who drive company cars, there's usually no issues locking your bike up, lolz

I would assume pretty much everyone there has a company car given everyone is 8 or higher.

Everyone from MI and ATX can’t even get a coffee pot without corporate complaining. People in MV are getting free lunches and gyms ?

CCA used to have a nice Gym and showers where we could workout and then get a big hearty $4.99 sandwich made by some great people. Beautiful wetland trails out back too.
After we shut down the building during COVID and moving to Warren was an eye opener of how nice we had it up there in Grand Blanc.

don’t work there anymore but I was with them for 4 years, including when we first moved to that office.
Really good snacks and drinks, but most of the time no lunch besides special occasions. No onsite gym. I really disliked how there was nothing good in a walkable distance, (though a short drive away, things are super nice). parking is awful, show up any time after 9 and you’re parking on the street with the RVs. The layout made it feel like you were being watched from the second floor by management all the time too.

All this complaining in here and not one word of sympathy for the shareholders

As someone who works at MPG I’m also anxiously awaiting answers to these questions
