Comparison of Working at the 3 Big Search Giants

Tastyresearch describes his (or her) past few years interning and working at the three companies. Things I didn't know from before: Bill Gates wears old shoes, Google's internal security watches you like a hawk, the office styles of each company, and how to fill your suitcase with Google T-shirts. He calls the few select companies the 'prestigious internship circle', noting 'once you have worked at one, it's a lot easier to get into another'."

Now we know that he values perks and the showy stuff. Good luck chatting, networking and backstabbing your way up the 9 levels of management at Yahoo. Where I work there are no super stars, no free anything but I can come and go whenever I want (9 to 5 is no problem, too), get a really good reliable paycheck and most importantly the work is interesting and unpretentious. No need to sacrifice my private life for an endless string of office parties and chic gossip.
