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'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?

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?

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

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

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?

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.
