Hi readers,
Today we traveled out to San Francisco to visit Square, Spoke, and Moovweb. Square is an established company while Spoke and Moovweb are two startup companies.
Square was definitely one of my favorite companies to visit. It got to talk to an employee about his role in the company and it was very interesting. Here's a little background information if you don't know what Square is! Square is a company that provides merchants with a form of mobile payment. He deals with the transactions between the merchants and their customers banks. While he was on the engineering side of it he explained the accounting side and it sparked my interest. I would love to work in a field like that. Square's office was one of my favorites. They had a robot that if you were out sick but needed to attend a meeting, you can drive this robot to the meeting and be virtually present for the meeting. What I loved about the office is they had paintings from the San Francisco MOMA. They get new paintings every three months. In the future I hope to work for a company like Square or work for Square.
Spoke is a recent startup company, they have been open for about a year now. Spoke offers companies a website that enhances their communications internally. It was interesting to see this company because they are so new to the work world. They still have a lot to work on and I hope they become very successful because they have the potential.
Moovweb is a company that makes the transition from a desktop site to a mobile site smoother and easier. Moovweb has a lot of potential as well and I hope they become very successful.
After our visits with these companies, we had free time to explore the beautiful city of San Francisco. We explored Fisherman's Wharf, a few shops, and took a boat ride under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz. Today was probably one of my favorite days.
Tomorrow we will be our last day visiting companies and we are going to see Apple, Aruba Network, and the Computer History Museum.
Below are a few pictures from each company and a few scenic spots in San Francisco.
Thanks for reading,
