The Highest-Paying Companies in Silicon Valley

The Highest-Paying Companies in Silicon Valley Facebook may garner a ton of media attention for attracting top grads and offering amazing perks (as well as boasting one of the coolest offices in corporate America), but when it comes to pay, the social media giant doesn’t crack the top five highest-paying companies in Silicon Valley. That’s according to Glassdoor, which supplied Business Insider with numbers on the median pay for the top 17 companies in the Valley. And while Facebook didn’t land in the top fiveâ€"it was #8â€"its median total compensation of $150,000 is still pretty generous. Glassdoor provided BI with median base salaries and median total compensation (which takes into account other compensation such as bonuses), collected from “thousands of salary reports submitted to its website by employees between March 2015 and March 2016” from firms in the San Francisco Bay area.
