I work for a high tech company in Silicon Valley as well. In my experiences, the higher quality and reputation the company is, the better it is to work for them.
Silicon Valley is well known for the larger or higher brand companies acquiring the lower brand companies. Also High Tech is more of global and mixed company’s collaboration in this day and age.
Higher salary is nice and I would probably go for that since work is just "work" to me and not my life as long as my general security is there. But at the same time I could not work for a company that does not value their employees and customers and have need to have a genuine goal for their products.
The company I work for has no debts and a lot of customers which is impressive and makes me feel honored to work there. I have been here for 7 years and still feel like going on strong. 7 years service is a very long time for a high tech company when average is 2-3 years.
I would investigate what the company is about and where they stand before deciding.
