I suppose if you had to work at a job, you can do a lot worse than working at Google. According to Fortune magazine, you can’t find a better place to work in America than at Google. Here’s a little three minute video from Oprah explaining why Google is the best place to work. I wonder who they would rank in the world?

    LOL surprise, surprise! It does look like a fun environment to work in though. Kinda like that Antitrust movie with Ryan Philippe and Tim Robbins — minus the psycho boss part. :lol:

    It’s true. Whether you answer to a boss or not, Adsense still has a box you have to work inside of. It’s a far more liberating job than most, but there’s still a boss :neutral:

    Seriously, I can’t get a job at Google… They all already speak English! mmm… oh, well.

    Google gets 1 Million resumes and hires 5000 people…. Now, that’s some selection! The way Microsoft use to be 5-10 years ago.

    No surprise there! Google only hires brainiacs, so poor dolts like me miss out. Plus, I am an old geezer in their eyes. Rock on!

    I think i actually read somewhere that their engineers actually get paid below average salaries for the industry. I guess all the other perks make up for it though. I hope i got the right company though. I read so much crap sometimes i get it mixed up. Can anyone confirm this?

    I saw an offer sheet once. Looked fairly standard, the stock options were what had the potential to really sweeten the deal though. The raw salary didn’t look below average to me. But then, that’s just one of several thousand employees.

    Even if they got a measly pay I’m sure they can’t complain. For an employee, those perks definitely make the work all worthwhile. I mean, having someone do your laundry WHILE you’re playing beach volleyball five cartwheels away from your computer — that’s pretty tough to beat right there.

    Agreed. The idea of someone doing my laundry for me as part of the deal is impressive indeed :)

    Yeah, all those perks are so people can work longer hours than average!

    I bet there are no 35 hour weeks there!

    I heard that Microsoft has similar perks.

    Here’s the story from MSNBC:

    Microsoft said it would supply free towels in company showers, better food in staff canteens and on-site laundry service in an effort to boost employee morale as it battles for talent with Google and other recent start-ups.

    The new battle has indeed been going on for a while. They’re all scrambling to get the best and brightest.

    I wonder why my phone’s not ringing with offers…

    I think they have created a fantastic business.
    I still would not want to work there. I think there are better jobs or at least better income sources.
