According to Wired News, there are 15,916 employees working for Google (GOOG). By comparison, this number looks reasonable since their market cap is $201 Billion right behind Microsoft (MSFT) $286 Billion with 79,000 full time employees. (finance.yahoo.com).

Google has an office in Chicago and I heard they were hiring sometime in spring of ‘07. I talked to some people who applied here and they told me it was pretty hectic process with so many people competing for the same jobs. Is it very tough to get a job with Google? What about the interview process? Do I need to have perfect SAT score?
I think having a job at Google sounds really fun with so many perks. Free food, free day care, massage areas, and so many other perks that you wouldn’t even think about working elsewhere. You can read about why you should work at Google from job description http://www.google.com/support/jobs/bin/static.py?page=about.html. I assume Google is very flexible and treat their employees very generously with granting stock options as well.
