Google offers seven perks to their

[prisilabr03]

According to BusinessDictionary.com, perks are “privileges granted to employees in addition to their salaries and benefits,” and may include such things as “the company car, vacations, reserved parking spaces, spacious offices, private dining and washroom facilities, etc.”

Perks are different from benefits since they are less important (typical benefit health coverage, typical perks reserved parking spaces) and Perks are more discretionary, can be offered to individuals either as a way to entice them to join, or as a way to reward them as they move up the ranks.

According to Huffington Post, employees in their Mountain View campus:

On site doctors. I’m not sure if it’s an actual perk not to have to leave the office when you’re sick, but on-site doctors ensure that this is a reality at Google’s Mountain View campus. According to Google’s benefits site, physical dataset therapy and chiropractic services are also available.

Japanese Toto Toilets. Is it really any wonder that Googlers have access to some of the most high-tech toilets around? These Japanese johns offer washing and drying of your nether regions as well as the mysterious “wand cleaning.” Both the wash water and the seat itself can be warmed or cooled depending on your preference.

Endless Lap Pools. One perk about not working at Google is that Gawker never posts a photo of you swimming in one of the Googleplex’s lap pools. The outdoor mini-pools are like water treadmills: a strong current allows the Googler to swim and swim and go nowhere. Luckily, according to How Stuff Works, lifeguards are always on duty in case someone gets in over their head.

Conference Bike. According to PC Magazine, Google’s Conference Bike is used as a team-building exercise for new employees. It has four wheels and five riders who work together to move it around.
