Depending on how badly the company wants you, the more competitive the company's offer will be. A candidate's interview scores and the grade they were given during the hiring process will be reviewed in order to determine if they would be an effective component of the organization. Furthermore, along with compensation comes the benefits that Google and Facebook offer its employees which maximizes employee satisfaction. Some of the benefits that these companies provide are free lunch, transportation, on-site gym, flexible work hours, maternity/paternity leave, retirement, and death benefits. First off, free lunch is not something most employees are fortunate enough of having at their workplace. Not only does this perk allow a person to save money, but time is also saved as well. Making, packing, or buying lunch in the morning isn't a concern for these workers, nor is having to go out to get lunch during a work break (Petoff). The companies HQ Cafes gives individuals the opportunity to enjoy eating at work and at Google people can contribute that money to their vacation savings account (Petoff). Another efficient benefit that saves both time and money is free transportation to and from work with the help of the Google and Facebook shuttle bus.
These shuttle Buses help employees save money on gas, tolls, or any other form of public transportation. Having this benefit can also be looked at as a time for leisure while not being behind the wheel. An individual can get a head start on their work for the day or simply just read, listen to music, or connect on social media (Petoff). It is quite rare that someone lives walking distance from their job, so having this bus contributes to saving the environment due to less cars on the road as well as employee safety to and from work. Furthermore, it is most common that with work also comes stress. What better way to relieve stress than by exercising? Exercising is important for one's fitness and health, but joining a gym plus the transportation to get to and from there costs money.
