Kiplinger – Google vs. Apple by the Numbers

Ramlade över två intressanta diskussioner. Den ena handlar om hur det är att jobba hos Google och den andra för Apple. När det gäller Google kan ett inlägg se ut såhär:

1) Everyone is super smart
2) 18 different cafes
3) Free Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
4) The food is gourmet quality (e.g. omelet bar, chefs that make custom sandwiches for you, sashimi, free drinks 24/7, free snacks of all sorts 24/7.
5) The 7 person conference bicycles
6) Every Friday, Larry, Sergei, or Eric takes questions from us (in person), and we get free beer (e.g. Downtown Brown)
7) Gyms all over
Free Laundry done for us
9) Discounted massages
10) Refrigerators with assorted Odwallas in every building
11) Free bicycles that we can just get on and ride to different buildings
12) Always pickup soccer games, or basketball games going on
13) Amazing free automated massage chairs in every building
14) Lap pool, volleyball court, tennis court, basketball court, etc.
15) You can bring your dog with you to the office every day (1 out of 4 employees always has their dog with them)
16) Free shuttle to and from work everyday. (The shuttle has wi-fi). It even goes to SF.

Medans det för Apple mera ser ut såhär:

You are part of something much bigger than you. The ideas you talk about in the hall, the neat tricks you figured out in CSS, the new unibody machining technique, that’s part of your job, something you are paid to do for Apple’s success, not something you need to blog about to satisfy your ego.

Underhållande och intressant läsning i båda men jag varnar för mycket läsning.
