I find Google's flight and lodging caps interesting. Are they higher for senior folks? I.e. do directors get higher caps? Do vps?
My VP once approved a crazy expensive flight for me that was way over cap so I assume they have discretion.
Can you fly business class at google?
Depends on the flight. You’re given a fixed amount of $ to spend on a given route and you can book it however you want. For most long distance flights if you plan carefully and have enough advanced notice you can do it business class. If you use less than the cap, you save up half the difference to use later however you want.
I find it very annoying. it’s a biz trip which I might not be able to book in advance. I don’t understand why I need to carefully plan or get stressed or fly 12 hours with economic class.
Yes the cap depends upon your level. Been 4 years with Google and always traveled biz class except once when I wanted to save trip credit to afford a suite for an upcoming official but with family trip
