All I had to compare Google to were my limited experiences in the other two. I thought Google was the most laid-back of the three. No doubt you've heard about dinner cafes opening late to keep employees at their desks, but the reality is that a lot of people's productivity slows down from 5-6 anyway (that was ping pong hour for me). Go! cafe is open all day, and lots of people grab a sandwich before skedaddling at 5pm sharp. Maybe there's more pressure at some teams to put in more hours. I have no data on that. I think overall vacation benefits, hours, and pa/maternity leave are slightly better, but I'm not certain.
