Google pays good as fukk and has creme de la creme benefits. They can pick and choose who they want. Not sure why folks in here think they have to do recruitment videos to attract talent.
They definitely one of the best in terms of pay, benefits, etc. No remote though is a dealbreaker for many.
I'm just saying the very best companies will do the same but give 100% remote work on top of it, plus more interesting problems and prestige which will basically attract the best of the best as their main interest over working for Google.
Google was definitely the top dog late 2010's though and still up high but now NVIDIA is their own class at the very top.
NVIDIA is simply running laps around the tech, R&D and Engineering world.
They're doing so and completely avoided layoffs as well: zero layoffs these last few years. They're the True Tech Industry right now and the People's Champion. When they say the cream rises to the top, that's NVIDIA.
All that and they're basically about to break computing at the end of this year and did it again with no layoffs, 100% remote work, treating employees with respect, etc. They simply don't cut corners.
Google definitely will attract talent, but they're not the first on the list anymore.
When you're basically about to turn the world upside down with your tech and you have White, Black, Asian, Latin and Middle Eastern employees working there rating your company an "A", you're doing something right.
I honestly hope Jensen Huang keeps running that company. Dude may be the greatest CEO of the last 100 years IMHO. Complete blend of technical knowledge, innovative thinking and humanity.
