Which company has the best benefits? From relocation to other day to day employee benefits?
TBH I don’t know and therefore didn’t vote. However, I think google probably fits your bill
Why do you care about benefits if TC is much higher?
BIG difference between benefits and “perks”. So which are we talking about here? Free cafeterias and an on-site Starbucks would be great. But our health plan for family has a $1000 deductible (employee alone is $400) and covers 90/10 until you reach your out of pocket maximum of $1500 ind / $3000 fam for the year. Wouldn’t trade that for perks if the only employer plan was a HDHP + HSA. Don’t see the benefit of a HDHP when my company charges the same for premium as it does the PPO. Paying just under $100/month to cover myself but same plan under COBRA would be $750 for health, not counting dental / vision. As far as perks... We have an on site gym with extended hours, humongous new locker room and changing area. Just got a new set of electrically adjustable standing desks and replacement chairs. Cafeteria open for breakfast and lunch (prices apply but food is heavily subsidized). EV charging spots up front, work from home (currently 1 day a week but new Assoc Director seems open to more). Life is pretty good.
Here at Google, I take a bus(takes about 40 minutes) at 9am and leave work at 530pm. Buildings(including gyms which have towels) are open 24hrs/365days apart from the infrequent electricity shutdown/test. I play sports during work hours at least 2-3 times/week @1.5hrs each session with other employees. Here we have breakfast, lunch and dinner but I skip dinner so I can go home early lol. I regularly run any errands I have at work (visiting doctor, getting haircut, etc.) Using the free rental cars available. There's also free laundry including baskets + detergent but that's overkill for me. My healthcare plan is a HDHP, but my biweekly cost is 0 and the deductible is 1350 for myself after which everything is covered 💯. Google deposits 1350 in my HSA every year effectively making my contributions towards medical 0. Biweekly cost for dental vision is like $8? 401k is matched 50%, so I drop 19k and google matches 9.5k. Everyone is standard issued electric standing desk, ergonomic chair, Bluetooth headphones , desktop and laptop. I didn't include the tuition benefit (2/3 tuition upto 12k/year), commuting (google now covers upto max commuting benefit per month ~250$ in bay area) because I haven't used them yet. There's a bunch of death benefits (all unvested stock vests immediately upon death of employee, spouse gets half salary for the next 10 years, 1k/month per child till they are through college, 3x salary life insurance). And pay is great too. L4 1.75 YOE, 230k TC
Hell yeah! 136k TC / 7 YOE / RTP We don’t have salary continuation but subscribe to max life at 8x annual base. Company says 1:1 match but only up to 6% of annual salary. Putting away a combined $20k a year in 401k (contribution + match) and the rest is going toward a bigger home. Right now I can get a 5 bed 4 bath new construction for $450k in my area. I’m hesitant to try my chops in the Bay as I don’t code and my job pays about the same across the country (~$4/hr difference) lol
Great choice. Live it up in RTP. I enjoy all my benefits, but at the end of the day it just numbs the rat race that is the Bay Area. Your salary goes a much longer way in RTP wrt real estate, etc. At this point I'm saving up and investing so I can leave not too far in the future.

Everyone knows Google wins these polls.
Just like everyone knows Amazon loses so we don’t bother to add them 😂
