Only 46% of survey respondents said their total compensation is competitive compared to similar jobs at other companies. Thats down 12 points from a year earlier. A modestly higher number, 56%, say their pay is fair and equitable, a drop of eight points from the prior year. Some 64% of employees said their performance is reflected in their pay, down three points.

We know that our employees have many choices about where they work, so we ensure they are very well compensated, a Google spokesperson said in a statement. Thats why weve always provided top of market compensation across salary, equity, leave, and a suite of benefits. Getting employee feedback is important, and well continue to ensure we pay competitively everywhere our employees work and help them grow their careers at Google.

Pay is a matter that Google executives have been forced to address of late. At an all-hands meeting in December, Frank Wagner, Googles vice president of compensation, responded to concerns about rising inflation and whether the company would provide any sort of increase. Wagner said Google would not implement a blanket raise to match inflation.

Meanwhile, revenue has continued to surge, executives have received pay bumps and the stock price hit a record in November before falling with the rest of the market.

The PREMEIRE STEM company not looking so great anymore is a big signal to the state are economy currently is in.

Executing your employees is bad for morale, yes.

strange, i thought google was at the top of everyone's job target list for engineers and stuff like that

Odds are the pay raises were less than inflation and even less than the increase in the cost of living.

A year or two at Google is a pretty decent resume-boost.

It used to be. Their corporate culture has increasingly become more limiting, one-track minded, and objective driven rather than allowing employees to discover ways to help the company forward and giving them perks.

I read that entire paragraph TC. Not one person was executed.

This. I have a cousin that has a top position in the company and I thought working for Google was the cream of the crop kind of job?

It is. That is why this article is posted. Else no one would care.

Actually the article says you are wrong.

Employees are still happy with the direction of the company.

Just not the pay and promotions side of it.

Employees happy with products, mission
Survey results showed employees are pleased with Googles ability to deliver on the mission to organize the worlds information and make it universally accessible and useful.
Googles mission received a 90% rating, while values came in at 85%.
Its heartening to see that our org takes a lot of pride in our mission, managers and helpfulness of our products, Raghavan wrote. These continue to be foundational to our work and our culture.
Additionally, 96% of employees under Raghavans agreed that Googles products are helpful to people in their everyday lives.
Diversity and inclusion ratings were mixed. The company received favorable marks between 82% and 90% when it came to belonging and employees feeling their opinions are valued.
Pichai said the company progressed in areas including employee well-being and culture of respect.

So basically they are just not distributing their profits like they should.

Id be unhappy with execution too

I thought I read they cut out the time they would normally let their employees experiment separate from ongoing projects.

It is actually surprising. Google supposed to be the premiere put yourself through college, work super hard, get job there and you are paid super well and can brag about your rolex and condos like a certain user here.

So we must wonder why that company is now in this current climate no matching inflation.

Yeah, I'm unhappy about workplace executions too. My coworker Bob spilled coffee on the white carpet. They sent him to the gallows that same evening.
