Does google pay significantly more than, say, any old rails job? Perks don't really impress me. 20% time sounds interesting, but I hear it's gone. Why would I want to deal with the interview process?

- phazmatis 13y agoThanks. I think that speaks for itself.
- skj 13y ago20% is certainly not gone. However, you will have to claim it on your own. If you want to know the best thing about working for Google (I work for Google), it's the peer group. Sure, the interview process misses a lot of great candidate, but it's really hard for a poor candidate to get through the doors. There's no one I work with who I think is dumb, or who I think couldn't handle anything I needed them to handle.
- wilykat 13y agoabsolutely agree with skj. The pay is decent+, the perks are very good, but the most impressive thing has been how intelligent and competent everyone is. Going from my previous job to Google was about the same experience as going from my decent high school where I was nearly valedictorian to a top-tier university where I couldn't even keep up with honors physics - that moment of "oh, wow, I thought I was amazing but there are a ton of people here who take that level of ability for granted." I think eventually you stop feeling impostor syndrome but it hasn't happened yet for me :)
