Google has been KNOWN and famous for its generousity with its employees. Extremely high quality organic food, healthy (and unhealthy alike) snacks for free. Pool. Gym. Free haircut. On site clinics etc etc... But getting your foot in it is not easy @_@b
...to keep you out. @ Hiake: Yeah, they do have very high standards (ofcourse) for hiring people, saw recently an article about the Dutch Google office in my city (yeah, it got my immediate attention) and they said they got a lot of applications but it was hard to find the right people.
Wished I was! >.< I thought I could try for their marketing/PR department or even as a cantine worker if they allow me the same rights as the geeks! -lol
