Google Salaries, Bonuses and Benefits.

What are the average starting salaries, bonuses, benefits and travel requirements like at Google?

What do you like best about working at Google? Are there any great perks or special treats for employees?

I was just wondering what kind of salaries Google paid and what kind of benifits they also offer.

Very Poor . I've been there couple of years and their pay really sucks benefits average

I'm surprised you wrote that. I had always heard they paid well and gave great benefits. Have things changed or did I get bad information?

no, it is true, they pay really poorly and work you to the bone

Thanks for sharing that, Wendy. One of the unique things I had heard about Google is that they provide their employees with meals for breakfast, lunch, and supper. On the surface, that would seem like a very nice perk, but maybe it is an enticement to get their employees to spend some very long hours at work?

Indeed, by NOT leaving the office building because of onsite services (doctor, laundry etc) you'd spend more time at work. Google even has a massage program to help tardy, tired and sore employees become relaxed ones. Sounds like a sweatshop huh?

I recently got e-mailed for a position at the Mountain View office. I am considering it...

Salary is always important but as I am very young still, my top priority is personal and professional growth. Aside from salary, how does Google compare to several other companies?

I just got contacted for a Director level position in the advertising operations group.
Anybody have insight into salary + bonus + other compensation for this kind of role?
Thanks!

Does anyone know how the salaries range in NY, NY? For API Engineer position?

Salary is low. But you get both stock option and 0 cost base Google stock unit. 401 match about $7500. Bonus base is about 15% multiply by a factor of both company and your performace. In recent good years, the factor is 2.

Ok, When you say that salary is LOW, it must be compared to something. What is this relative to?

I have 10 years of experience on software internationalization. Google offered only $20/hour for this position. It was insulting. I don't need free cafeteria meal, I just wanted real salary.

Software developer interns get paid $34/hour...Plus relocation expenses.

I'd imagine that full timers get more than interns.

I am graduating in december with a bachelors in computer science. I have worked as a programer for 5 years and in tech support for another 5. What type of salary do i deserve?

Ph.D from top CS depts are Google's favored candidates. (They are more likely to carry their student lives to stay late). That group usually get good deal. If you have 10+ years' experiences, you could get 20K less than market pay.

Anyone have an idea of salary for Interaction Designer, at the Santa Monica office? They recently posted an ad on craigslist.

Just to let some of you know, Google DOES pay well for certain people. Two years ago, my husband went to Google, he started at $200k a year, plus bonuses of about 25%. Even though it's a lot of money, we still had to pay ONE million dollars for a crappy little 1500 square foot house in the area (we came from Virginia, where a million dollars buys you many houses!!). Also, the relocation package was not as good as it could have been. However, that said, he is the happiest he's ever been at a job in his life, and that's what's important. Oh, also, I don't have to work anymore :)

Is it possible to have base salary of 50K and end up close to 100K at Google?

What level is your husband's role at Google?

I don't know what level he is...
He is a computer guy, not management. He writes and codes - computer stuff.
They basically stole him from another very large computer company where he had many years there.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I had a phone interview. The guy talked about the benefits etc. It appeared the base salary is rather low for the positioin but he mentioned you would end up making close to 100K. He mentioned it depended on both personal performance and company performance, but I'm curious how it could be that a big difference.

I just recently received an invitation with google for an account associate position in adwords. I am a young guy who recently graduated from college and I am trying to get an idea of salaries. Does anyone have an idea of how much an account associate in adwords will make?
