Google is now a great place to go if you have a communications or marketing degree from a 2nd tier school. Every other woman I meet in the Bay Area is a Google account PM with a master's in marketing from some place like Maryland State university. I would say if you aren't an engineer google is AWESOME: free food, gym, haircuts, massage, shuttle buses, personal laptop, off-site retreats to disneyland every other month, etc. The other employment options for people in those positions usually resemble "the office." If you are an engineer you will be working 3 people to a cube on maintenance tools that maintain the tools for maintaining another tool. I also turned down Google's offer. And as others have mentioned, various Google recruiters still send me email at least three times a month.
