You simply can't miss IT. An important part of your time on the net,
this is an entity that you use for reasons more than one. Yup! We are
talking about Google, the search engine that has completely revolutionised
internet search and emerged as a lifesaver for all net-savvy folks.And at
a time when companies are on a hiring spree, one does tend to get confused
about which company to join. Pay, designation, work profile, culture and
brand vale are some of the factors that can determine which job to settle
for.
The internet search engine company's website enlists 10 reasons why geeks
should be joining the young company
Top 10 Reasons to Work at Google
1. Lend a helping hand. With millions of visitors every month, Google has
become an essential part of everyday life#8212;like a good
friend#8212;connecting people with the information they need to live great
lives.
2. Life is beautiful. Being a part of something that matters and working
on products in which you can believe is remarkably fulfilling.
3. Appreciation is the best motivation, so we've created a fun and
inspiring workspace you'll be glad to be a part of, including on-site
doctor and dentist; massage and yoga; professional development
opportunities; on-site day care; shoreline running trails; and plenty of
snacks to get you through the day.
4. Work and play are not mutually exclusive. It is possible to code and
pass the puck at the same time.
5. We love our employees, and we want them to know it. Google offers a
variety of benefits, including a choice of medical programs,
company-matched 401(k), stock options, maternity and paternity leave, and
much more.

We see endless opportunity to create even more relevant, more useful, and
faster products for our users. Google is the technology leader in
organizing the world#8217;s information.
7. Good company everywhere you look. Googlers range from former
neurosurgeons, CEOs, and U.S. puzzle champions to alligator wrestlers and
former-Marines. No matter what their backgrounds Googlers make for
interesting cube mates.
8. Uniting the world, one user at a time. People in every country and
every language use our products. As such we think, act, and work
globally#8212;just our little contribution to making the world a better
place.
9. Boldly go where no one has gone before. There are hundreds of
challenges yet to solve. Your creative ideas matter here and are worth
exploring. You'll have the opportunity to develop innovative new products
that millions of people will find useful.
10. There is such a thing as a free lunch after all. In fact we have them
every day: healthy, yummy, and made with love.
