Top Start Ups To Work For In San Francisco

Looking for a new job in the City by the Bay — or looking to relocate? Then snagging a job in a start up is a no brainer, since San Francisco is over run with ‘em. But choose your dream place of work wisely; these 10 companies (some of them fresh off their first year or two of existence!) are some of the best start ups to work for in San Francisco:

Airbnb: The once-little start up that’s now changing the travel industry in a big way topped Glassdoor’s list of the Best Places to Work in 2016. For employees at Airbnb, the focus is on learning and self-improvement — the company even features “fireside chats” with well-known CEOs, musicians, and other whizzes at the top of their game to share business insights with the Airbnb crew.

Checkr: Founded by two engineers, this company makes completing background checks easier and faster for start ups and small businesses. Employees at Checkr can expect awesome perks like catered lunch and dinners, unlimited time off, and a thoughtfully designed workplace, including ergonomic chairs for ultimate comfort while you keep your nose to the grindstone.

Gigster: Gigster connects freelance developers to product managers in need of serious talent, fast. The start up’s backed by big investors like YCombinator and Anderseen, and its core team is filled with super talented and driven software development gurus — plus, you can expect perks like covering moving expenses if you have to relocate after snagging a position.

Shyp: No more annoying trips to the post office! With Shyp, the courier comes to you. This rapidly expanding company provides a customized computer desk set up for its employees, so you can work the way you want, plus more traditional benefits like top medical coverage and gym reimbursements.

Eaze: Called the “Uber of Marujuana” by the Wall Street Journal, Eaze vows to deliver medical marijuana to its customers in 20 minutes or less. From its new digs in San Fran’s Financial District, the start up is building a diverse and passionate workforce full of employees who aren’t afraid to push the limits.

Lumoid: Rent high-end gadgets like fancy cameras and Fitbits through this YCombinator-backed start up founded and led by some super smart women with top tech companies (including Microsoft) on their resumes. As the company expands into new tech gadget territory, it’ll be looking for top recruits, and can offer competitive salaries and possible Visa sponsorship for the right fits.

Postmates: If you’ve already developed a dependency on Postmates’ speedy delivery service, then maybe it’s time to join the company. As an employee, you’ll get a monthly Postmates credit, plus great health plan coverage and stock sharing options.

BloomThat: This start up is making staid flower delivery hip again for the millennial set with fresh arrangements, a sweet app, and next-day delivery in most places. Employees get flexible working hours, an open vacation policy, and plenty of fresh blooms — definitely a major perk.

EventBrite: Recently named one of Business Insider’s top unicorn start ups to work for, EventBrite makes it easier to organize, find, and join events. Employees are privy to in-office yoga and catered lunches, plus a learning-focused atmosphere that includes weekly tech chats and “Brite Camps” hosted by teammates.

Pinterest: You’ll never be bored working for the creativity-fueling — and endlessly addicting — app. “Make-a-thons,” group runs, and game nights contribute to a close-knit work community, while on-site massages keep employees from getting too stressed out on the job.
