As it has grown big, Google has become miserably stagnant when it comes to giving proper recognition to employees during perf-cycles and promotion. They manage to suck the top brains from fresh college grads (from IITs, IISc) at a low package, yet quoting an attractive package which differs from CTC by at least $12,000 yearly. Needless to say, these include the cost of "perks" shown at an exaggerated rate and some components which are never realized. Whereas in off-campus recruitment, they make a reasonably good offer (often more than double, triple the amount offered to college hires of the same level) to get a candidate, even if it may be for a test engineer position.

Instead of pulling "great" people from outside at overpaid compensation, invest in retaining the great people you already have working in your organization.
