Re: [PLUG] Linux Jobs @ Google...
|
I figured the MS/Phd thing would fizzle out eventually as you guys
start hiring more and more.
Just curious (I have no intentions of applying since I won't leave
Philly area), does Google generally offer lower-then-average salaries
since a Google job carries the perks of... being at Google, stock
options, etc.,.
I know people who work at companies like IBM and Vanguard, and their
salaries tend to be on the low end, since their employer gives them the
"job-for-life" opportunity, plus really good benefits, etc.,. Just
curious.

We also hire PhD's :-) Actually, we were close to offering a job to a
talented perl developer from the U.K. who never finished high school a
couple of weeks ago. The bottom line is that Google only hire
extremely
bright and motivated people.

I thought Google only hires people with a MS degree from ivy
league with no work experience? Or have they begun to
realize the stupidity of their ways....

engineering-driven environment?
Can you write a script or application that performs
practically the
entire job you once held earlier in your career?
Does your idea of a good time involve taking things apart
just to see
how they work? Are you successful putting them back together when
you're done?
Can you help achieve increased Availability, Reliability,
Uptime, and
Quality? (for our systems and services, naturally) If you answered
"Yes" to more than three of the above questions, you may
have what it
takes.

balancers); be able to identify networking as the
potential cause of a

output of these tools; familiarity with common network topologies,
protocols, and tools; have some notion of common network security
exploits -- and their remedies; understanding of
troubleshooting at

fluency in coding, good communication skills, and most of all

uniquely Google. Google.com engineers tackle challenging, novel

engineering
and operations team in the process.
