I'd go with Google. No good reason at all, just gut instinct. Or maybe it's because I'm an android programmer.What about you?

I would also work for Google. I've always been mesmerized by their search engine. Time to learn how it works.

Compare: pay + benefits - cost-of-living Even if your biases about each company are generally accurate, they may not be accurate for the wing of the company you will work in. I'd give priority to your personal wealth.

Strong point there. I'll have to do a little research to make a good decision.

At most companies of the G or A size, it all depends on the team and manager, as they'll define the day-to-day culture and work. Note that Apple is much, much more siloed due to its secretive culture, and if talking about and open-sourcing what one does is important, G is the much better choice. But mostly, team and manager should be the deciding factor.
