Google Tops 100 Best Places To Work
inetsee writes "Fortune Magazine's annual '100 Best Companies to Work For' list is out, and Google topped the list in their debut appearance. Some highlights of the benefits of working for Google that caught my eye were the free gourmet meals and the massages. The chance to spend 20% of your time working on your own personal projects also sounds very appealing. Of course, with resumes rolling in at the rate of thousands a day, the competition is fierce."
Well, since the recruitment process is a machine, just write your resume like a robot. GoogleBot's sure to pick you then!
For a site about things like basic rights, Slashdot users sure do like to censor "dissent".
I want to work for Goolge too. As long as it doesn't get caught in my eye.
OK I know that was bad.
Sounds like a trip to the library is in order before I submit my resume!
Thanks for the info!
Some highlights of the benefits of working for Goolge that caught my eye were the free gourmet meals and the massages.
Sounds like you got a happy ending with that gourmet meal and massage.
The theory of relativity doesn't work right in Arkansas.
$20 says the Google massage doesn't include a 'happy ending'...
I tried starting my own company, but some geek guy in glasses bought me out.
Now my pencils are all broken.

Sorry to threadjack, but how many people had to mispell google to creat that tag? Sorry I had to be the one to point this out, but are sure you weren't one of them?
OK, I'll go over this once more:
The easiest way to find the best places to work is to look for the ones whose names end in "..University".
The money is surprisingly competitive, there are tons of holidays and always hot young chicks around. Try to live walking distance and you'll be able to sleep in on days you don't have "meetings".
Plus, if you are a moderately capable worker, you will immediately be made a Director, and the Administration will be amazed that you are so much more productive than anyone else in the place. Just do your job at about half-speed and you'll raise the average.
They'll even pay for you to engage in the greatest scam of all: Getting your PhD. Once you do that, you are forever enshrined in the Brotherhood of People Who Take it Easy and you can spend your days playing Eve and "walking down the street for an espresso".
Many the day I pinch myself for the great luck of having left all the corporate bullshit behind a few decades ago. Oh, there's one more important step: Marry a brilliant, beautiful Math Grad Student (preferably from Eastern Europe - the Asian ones will expect you to work hard), then when she gets a job in the Financial World, even Lotto winners will envy you.
You are welcome on my lawn.
