The bullet trains make it ~40 min SF->PA, ~45 to mountain view. There's lots of companies in downtown PA and MTV, making it just a 5 minute walk on that end. You also might have an easier time if you live near BART (say, in the Mission) and thus can take that to Millbrae instead of taking a slow bus to 4th/King.
So you're probably still looking at an hour and a half, but maybe not quite as bad as you describe.
Of course, this isn't a problem if you just work in SF too, and there's more and more great companies in the city. As awful as Muni is, it should offer you a <= half hour commute in most cases.
