When I graduated in 1995, HP and SGI were the dream job companies. Over the years as their fortunes started fading, I would see them slowly consolidate. SGI went down the progressively smaller offices over the next two decades. I think an SGI site in Mountain View are now used by Google HQ and another HP site down by Cupertino will soon by Apple HQ. Maybe there is a legacy being passed through each respectively ;)
