About three years ago an article ever published that Google has the best office on Earth, which their employees get the first class service in their office. Where they’re getting the free massages, gourmet meals, and professional haircuts at their beautiful campus in California.
After knowing that Google with such a superb working environment, you’d also be wondering how much a Google employee makes per month or per year? According to the result of some Google searches, the salary of a Google employee is as follows:
Google Programmer in California - $197,000/year
Google Programmer in Chicago - $222,000/year
Google Programmer in New York - $242,000/year
Some other benefits that you’d get from Google as an employee will be:
# 1) Google will pay $8,000 / year for you to continue your education. They just require you get at least ‘B’s in your classes.
# 2) If you refer another employee to Google’s staff and they stay for 60 days, Google will pay you $2,000. (Google seems to use the same referrer program that used to recruit a new Adsense publisher for recruiting a new employee)
