You get to work on a wide range of projects in various fields, and have SMEs from almost every discipline all in the same building. If you come up with a great idea you can commercialize it.

Had numerous previous memories here. Miss everyone. The company is surrounded by beautiful hills, you could see deers and bobcat if you're lucky. Everyone has their own office which is very rare amid Palo Alto companies. Most people are easy to work with and relationships are easy. My previous EHS manager is the most appreciate person. i learned a lot from him. But he left the company on 2019.

It was definitely challenging since the workplace culture embraced change all the while with having to meet monthly deadlines. There was constant change in accounting processes to improve efficiencies in our accounting procedures. The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with the Scientists who were doing cutting edge research to create new technologies and breakthroughs.

Some of them are just grads from colleges and have no experience. They use people like dust in their plans. 0.0 0.0 1.0 4.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 Jan 27th, 2021 09:40PM Mar 19th, 2021 08:31PM PARC Consumer Services Media

private:parc https://www.indeed.com/cmp/palo-alto-research-center/reviews Oct 19th, 2019 12:00AM Open Open Palo Alto Research Center Software Developer Palo Alto USA Great office but some labs are terrible e great thing: No cubicles, everyone is given a separate great room (even interns) Some of the experimental labs are very good and they are doing good work. If you want to pursue experimental science, it is a good place. The management is simply horrible. They are only interested in their own growth and they hardly give vision and direction to the employees. They never talk to them. You just have to tell them they are great and you feel wonderful that you are working for them, otherwise they will not promote you or show you the doors. Salary is pathetic and increment does not depend on your contributions, but making headless chickens (managers) happy. They will exploit to the maximum your visa position. For minor things such as books, new hard-drives etc, you have to please your boss for at-least one month. If he agrees, he will repeat often: See, how we care for you and we are making you happy.

No Cubicles. There are no goals and scope for any promotion. However, the office place is good. Cafe is pretty bad, but nearby VMWare is good. Good view outside the office and you can see Cayotes very often. Good Office and Nearby Stanford Univ Absolutely no promotion, salary increment, no matter how much you work. 0.0 0.0 2.0 4.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 Jan 27th, 2021 09:40PM Mar 19th, 2021 08:36PM PARC Consumer Services Media

There were no managers in the accounting department. None. Translated: Payroll, AP, AR, GL - all are solo - you and the CFO on most issues. It seemed that the only promotions were for the same person, twice. Rotating stock of recurring temps, no one sticks around for Ground Hogs Day.

PARC is a special place to work, as they bring together scientific creativity and expertise to help organizations turn possibilities into real breakthroughs. Every person working in the building is committed to the organization and it's mission. PARC is on the forefront of innovation and commercialization and will be for many more decades. This place is amazing! Joining this team is both rewarding and very gratifying. Pay is a little lower than competitors in Silicon Valley. This is offset by the corporate culture, the meaningful work and the ability to be recognized as an expert within your domain. 0.0 0.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 Jan 27th, 2021 09:40PM Mar 20th, 2021 01:43PM PARC Consumer Services Media
