About Google

Google is not a conventional company, and we don’t intend to become one. True, we share attributes with the world’s most successful organizations – a focus on innovation and smart business practices comes to mind – but even as we continue to grow, we’re committed to retaining a small-company feel. At Google, we know that every employee has something important to say, and that every employee is integral to our success. We provide individually-tailored compensation packages that can be comprised of competitive salary, bonus, and equity components, along with the opportunity to earn further financial bonuses and rewards. Other benefits of being a Googler include generous nutrition (free lunch/dinner) and fitness benefits, excellent medical and health packages, generous annual leave allowances as well as policies to ensure you can take time off without hassle in times of need.

Never judge a search engine by its interface. Behind that simple search window is one of the most complex technology infrastructures in the world. And it’s run by an equally diverse group of people. At Google, we don’t just accept difference – we thrive on it. We celebrate it. And we support it, for the benefit of our employees, our products and our community. Just as the very idea of Google depends on diversity, so does delivering the best possible products. Our success hinges on our ability to understand the needs of all 597 million of our users. That’s why we work hard to attract and hire talented individuals of every possible perspective, from all over the world. No matter how you slice it, diversity is our DNA. At the end of the day, it’s Googlers who make Google one of Fortune magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For.” Find out what makes working here the best place to work.
