Great place to work, but below-par salary
Great place to work, but below-par salary
Google engineers are some of the best I've ever worked with.
The perks are pretty good. But the salary is way below par. You could earn twice as much working in the financial services sector for the same hours. The rationale that you are working for Google so you should be happy with your salary is bogus.
Try to bring in and encourage more in-house projects that are interesting. The lack of interesting projects, coupled with a below-par salary, is not encouraging people to stay.
