Who Doesn’t Want to Work for Google?

April 4th, 2007

Fortune has once again put together the top 100 companies to work for in the United States. Not surprisingly at the top of the list is Google! With over a 67% growth rate and 6,500 employees Google is almost in another league compared to the other employers in the list. The video below is the best inside look that I have seen when it comes to a “Googler’s” life:

I was a little surprised that Google receives over 3,000 job applications per day (almost 1.1 million per year), but I guess that’s what happens when employees get gourmet food, free massages, and free access to 5 doctors on the premises. How did some of the other big technology companies stack up compared to Google?

  • Adobe
    Rank: 31
    Growth: 33%
    Number of Employees: 3,604
  • Yahoo!
    Rank: 44
    Growth: 26%
    Number of Employees: 6,840
  • Microsoft
    Rank: 50
    Growth: 13%
    Number of Employees: 44,298

I thought that Yahoo! had more employees than that, but I think that means Google will be passing them up pretty soon since they are only about 350 people behind right now.

So I’ll leave you with a quick question…if you had the knowledge and know-how to work at Google, would you?

    I guess you have an idea why now? If they get 3,000 apps per day, it’s understandable. Hope you hear from them ;)

    As long as they don’t slave you to death. I worked for a similar company that gave away so many nice perks, but they don’t do that for “free”. They expect something in return, i.e. to be there for important dates, schedules etc. I remember when a product was trying to be finished for an important ship date…man, over Christmas the programmers had to literally sleep in their offices for 4-5 days straight to get it done. Perks are nice but I don’t wanna work myself to death for gourmet meals.

    I think the employees are pretty dedicated to their jobs, so I’m sure a large majority of their time is spent at the office. After all, their Google Apps for your Domain service has 24-hour phone support in case you need it (for the people who pay for it). Someone has to be there to answer the phone. :)
