Well, saying that you "worked for google as a programmer" sounds a bit more impressive than you "worked for google as a cleaner", because google is a tech company. It is all about public image, so if you are a programmer then it is pretty natural your contract is stating that there is notable difference between you and, say, Sebastian Thrun in the sense of your importance for google. It doesn't seem to be necessary to say that some security guard's role in google wasn't like one of Sebastian Thrun, so why not?
