Working at Google is definitely a most sought-after destination for any tech professional and the company does offer some incredible perks to its employees.
Besides truly gorgeous office spaces, Google provides its workers with a lot of perks, and some former Googlers, and a few who are still with the company, listed their favorite benefits in an interaction with the Insider.
Here’s the list below:
Eat every meal at work, for free!
If you’re craving for food and worry to pay for it from your own pocket. You don’t need to bother about it, if you are a Google employee.
The free food lets employees “cut down on personal costs significantly,” said a former intern and incoming full-time employee at Googleplex — the company’s headquarters in Mountain View, California.
