At Glassdoor, you can find out how much they actually earn on Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and elsewhere.
Glassdoor’s idea is pretty simple: you tell me your salary, and I tell you mine. This tricky startup, which managed to get $ 3 million. from Benchmark Capital , appeared recently. According to a source , reviews about companies and real wages of employees of these companies are collected on the site. All this data is anonymous and available to absolutely all registered users. (The creators of the project plan to earn money by providing the collected information to job seekers, premium services, that is, simply selling the collected and ordered information to potential workers).
The idea is to collect the most detailed salary data and requirements for each position in the company, so that applicants can know how to respond to a particular offer, and already established employees will be able to compare their salaries with the salaries of their colleagues. “When the annual report arrives,” says CEO Robert Hohman, “you need to know how much you are worth.”
So how much does a software developer make on Google?On average (data from ten employees) $ 97,840. In fact, salaries range from $ 80,000 to $ 150,000 per year. In addition, workers receive bonuses ranging from $ 20,000 to $ 45,000 per year. If you add the salary and bonuses, according to Glassdoor, a Google programmer on average annually brings his wife $ 112,573 (besides this, you also need to consider the stock option). Yahoo and Microsoft engineers receive almost the same amount, but their premiums are less, so their annual income is $ 105,642 and $ 105,375 respectively. Apple software developers earn an average of $ 89,000 a year, and at the same time, they create the products most loved by users. (see the chart at the beginning of the article)
Anyone can see the data about these companies (Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Apple), but do not forget about the model “you to me - I to you”. You will need to leave a review before you see reviews from other users. Same thing with salaries. (The company will do everything possible to identify and delete false data). Each company and its director has a rating. Here's a ranking of Jerry Yang and Steve Ballmer. The ratings are compiled using the feedback that employees leave about their directors. Young has 59%, and Ballmer has 69%.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt secured a 89% rating. While the rating of Google (as a company in which I would like to work) is 4.2 on a five-point scale. Microsoft has the same indicator, but Yahoo has only 3.8, which is not surprising. Of course, all these data cannot fully reflect the current state of affairs. For example, when compiling the Microsoft rating, the data provided by 124 respondents were used, Yahoo - 50, Google - 37. The more respondents, the more accurate the results.
In addition to the rating and salary information, reviews are available that most fully reflect the picture. Even at Google, not everything is as beautiful as it seems at first glance. “Free cheese in a mousetrap,” says Hochman. One of the reviews is called “Awesome Culture, No Management.” One more “Fun at first, then not really.” And the most interesting “Google: a platform for the elite.” Here is an excerpt:
If you prefer an individual style, then Google is not for you (do not forget that I am not an engineer). Google has a too “googled” atmosphere, something like Brady Bunch if they lived in Russia during the time of communism. Googled relationships, artificial smiles, as well as a complete lack of complaints about the sinless authorities are encouraged: If you like tortured group collaboration, then Google is a paradise for you. It is unlikely that the word “tortured” is suitable, no one is forcing anyone to do anything, but if you suddenly will not be like everyone else, then a label with the inscription “not Google” will hang on you. And if this happened, then you instantly become a black sheep, which constantly strives to disgrace the whole herd.
Top Management Tip:
“Enough to build King Midas out of yourself: being rich on AdWords doesn't mean that absolutely all of your products are at the top of technical excellence. I don’t remember a single decision that I could truly call a breakthrough. And this I am talking about a company that positions itself as a developer of all the newest. You talk about innovation, hiding behind mergers with various companies and the acquisition of various kinds of companies (just because Google became the owner of YouTube, it cannot be called innovative). ”
Someone is noticeably embittered, but this does not mean that this person is telling a lie (by the way, you can’t say that this person is a Google employee). Most of the reviews about Google are positive. And if you read everything, then you can catch the main idea of the majority. Who knows if the choice of a job will be determined by the fact that Google cares about its employees. Will Netflix privacy policy push you away? (Each for himself will decide which is better).
If Glassdoor can get people to talk about the salary and internal climate of the company they work for, transparent Internet will destroy another fortress.
