I'm not a Googler, but I know many and yes, Google pays well, they work on very very interesting problems. Ex-Googler does have a ring to it when you apply for jobs. There are awesome benefits like amazing facilities and lunch everyday, on-site massages, fitness centers, etc. The environment is that everyone around you is incredibly intelligent so just being there is intellectually stimulating and feels like you're a student. Though working at Google is definitely not what it used to be, it certainly has its perks.

I keep hearing programmers at google work on very interesting problems, but I honestly wonder if all of them do. I mean, how many programmers does google employ by now? can they all really be working in creative, challenging problems?
