Google plans to hire more than 6,200 workers this year, claims local press. This is great!... for the smart ones. "Trying to get a job at Google is akin to trying to get into Stanford University," says Michael Liedtke of USA Today. As the biggest search engine in the world, Google receives over 1 million applications a year. Application processes include endless background checks for SAT scores, GPAs, intelligence performance tests, and questions complicated enough to turn your brain to a steaming pile of pudding.
The benefits are exactly that; beneficial. At "The Googleplex", the self-titled home base of Google Ind. located in New York city, spans 2.9 million square feet and offers there workers free food and drink and shuttles to anywhere within 50 miles of the building. Shuttles are also equipped with internet to make the workers lunch more enjoyable.
Cool, huh? Although Google would be fun to work at, I don't think I would like the pressure to drive on innovation and shoot out inventions like paper from a school office printer. I try to be much more laid back then that. Not to say it isn't a great job, though. Feel free to apply and good luck :P.
