Facebook, Google, Apple, Yahoo, Adobe, Intuit, and Microsoft & Amazon's Bay Area offices are all in SV.

I'd really divide it by era. Anything founded before 2005 is in Silicon Valley; after that is in San Francisco. I actually think YCombinator is a big driver of that; they funded younger startup founders (largely Millenials rather than Gen-Xers) who wanted to live in the city.

Actually Amazon's offices in SF are split between the valley and downtown, depending on what they're working on. I think hardware and embedded is out in the valley. Software / services are more in SF. And that's not counting Twitch which is in the Financial.

A9 (Amazon's search & advertising subsidiary) is in Palo Alto. That's the office I'm most familiar with, although perhaps that's because of the revolving door of high-level employees between it and Google.
