Developers are in demand. All the companies in Computerland are all afluster, competing to get the most skilled, creative and dynamic developers in the field. In this high stakes game of headhunting, compensation and benefits packages alone are no longer enough to attract the best players to a company's development team. People don't just want to company to work for, they want a company that they can work for and have fun too. This is one of the reasons why companies like Google are winning over the best developers in the industry. Check out this list of the top 10 reasons to work for Google. In addition to great compensation and benefits packages, they provide free lunches and snacks, foozeball, yoga, massage, gym and lots more, all with the sole purpose of attracting the most innovative minds in the industry. Google doesn't need to seek people. People want to be part of Google, nay, compete to be.
Compare Google's job page to Microsoft's job page. Google shows real employees having fun and doing their thing. Microsoft shows us a plastic stock photo representation of the yes men and women that work there. What kind of employees do you think Microsoft attracts? Is it any wonder that Microsoft is rapidly gaining a reputation as a stagnating company that struggles to keep up with its competitors?
