It is widely known that many IT companies (not only large, but also small) are distinguished by their free disposition and an unusual approach to organizing the work process. Google, well known to you and me, stands out even among them: this is manifested in the schedule of its employees, and in relation to ambitious projects, and in relation to regional offices scattered around the globe. Today I propose to talk about the extremely unusual design of the Corporation of Good offices and find out how much Sundar Pichai pays to his subordinates.
For example, the Spanish office (Madrid) is located on the 16th and 17th floors of the Picasso Tower, and employees have the opportunity to take a shower during a break, enjoy popsicles, play billiards or table football, arrange fierce competitions on the Xbox, or, on the contrary, relax by relaxing in hammock. In addition, the employees of this office use only laptops, which allows them to move freely and not sit in one place.
The design of the Google Dublin office is striking with an abundance of bright colors and a variety of nationalities: here you can hear about 46 languages from employees in 38 countries.
The entire territory here is literally dotted with sofas, TVs and soft rugs that create the most comfortable, almost 'home' atmosphere. The Dublin office also boasts unusual meeting rooms …
… and a large, beautiful library …
The American offices of the company, perhaps, differ from the European ones, but quite a bit. For example, in Chicago, employees relax in a retro video game setting.
And they work and confer on special hanging chairs.
In Toronto, Google went to great lengths to donate an entire rooftop golf course to its employees.
For those who prefer to relax spiritually, it is better to go down to the lower floor and give free rein to their musical abilities (if, of course, these same abilities are available).
But in Toronto, the weather is not always favorable to outdoor enthusiasts. In this regard, Google employees in Mountain View are much more fortunate, because they have the opportunity to devote their free time to playing beach volleyball on a specially equipped court.
After a successful game, you can sleep … in a capsule …
… or plunge into the pool before plunging back into work …
The New York office is known for being simply gigantic in size, and therefore its guests and employees have the opportunity to borrow a scooter.
For its employees in Washington, Google also prepared a means to keep fit – a special wall was built for them for indoor climbing!
Google's office in Zurich is notable for the fact that important negotiations are organized there in a large room resembling a cave.
Small meetings are held in such constructions, stylized as eggs.
The office even has its own mini-gym, where employees can warm up and relax, not only intellectually, but also physically.
The company of the staff of the Paris office of the world's most famous search engine is a cute Citroen C2V from 1948.
The Moscow office entertains its Googlers with billiards, table tennis, video games, and more.
While the Washington office was equipped with only a climbing wall, Google's Ontario office has an entire gym for this.
There is also a rather cozy library with an original design.
As you can see for yourself, Google employees are fortunate in their workplace environment. Now I propose to take a look at the most “money” vacancies of the company.

All kinds of bonuses are an integral part of working at Google: from small shares of the company in the form of options to the provision of personal electric cars. Also, after the death of any employee, his wife / husband or girlfriend / boyfriend is paid half of the salary every month for 10 years, and for each of the children of the deceased employee (s), $ 1000 is paid until the child reaches the age of 19.
