Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) really does pay its employees well, according to employee reviews on Glassdoor. Workers rated it the top place to work according to compensation and benefits. From reading some of the reviews on the site, it also seems clear that the perks from working at the search giant are excellent.
Google is number 1
According to the list, Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) has a rating of 4.4 in compensation and benefits. The only company to match it is Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST).

Employees also said there is on-site healthcare, acupuncture, a gym, and other perks in addition to hefty salaries and nice benefits.
Tech companies rule
It’s certainly no surprise that 12 of the top 25 companies on the list are technology companies, which are known for rewarding their employees exceptionally well. It’s somewhat interesting that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) isn’t on the list. Could this be why so many of the company’s workers have defected to other companies? Maybe they’re starting to notice that Apple doesn’t offer as much as other technology companies do. Even Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is in the top 25, after all.
Other technology companies that were on the list include Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:INTU), salesforce.com, inc. (NYSE:CRM), QUALCOMM, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) and eBay Inc (NASDAQ:EBAY).
