My first Pay Cheque!!

On July 2, 2010, I got my first pay cheque from Google :)
Well the amount Rs. 13,519 may not be great but its good to start with and the fact that I got it from one of my dream company "Google" makes it perfect for me.



I joined Google India, Hyderabad office as a Software Engineer in Test (SET) Intern on 14th June, 2010.
Google payed for my flight tickets, is taking care of my food and accomodation and still paying me a monthly stipend of Rs. 25000 :D
The facilities here are awesome. The Engineering Guest House, located in the posh area of Banjara Hills, is a 3 storey building. It boasts of TT Table, fooseball table and home theatre in the common area and TV, AC and 24-hour net connection in each room.
The Google Office (Omega building), located at Jubilee hills is almost 7 km from the Engineering Guesthouse. It is a 6 storey building with floors 1 to 4 mainly occupied by AdWords: Google's main source of revenue.
Google's Engineers occupy the top floor of the building. The office boasts of a bakery, snooker tables, Bunker rooms (for Sleepy engineers), Gym, Massage room, fooseball tables and even a library. There are break-out areas on each floor where people come to simply relax. Google actually follows a 70-feet rule which states that wherever you be in the google office, food will not be farther from you than 70 feets. Not to mention that the food at Google (office or guesthouse) is absolutely free :)
I am having a great time here and the time I spent here will definitely be one of most memorable moments!

  2. @ishan: When I started to write the post, that is how I wanted it to be, but this is how it ended up.
    Again, I wanted to bring out the joy I am having here and the materialistic pleasure is all that came out :)
    I cant state more than just the facts here. This comic describes it perfectly.
    Probably, need to work on my writing skills as well!!
