Casual
Attitude:
Software
Companies like Google and Microsoft are youthful- at heart, if not in
actuality. They scorn the stuff like suits, trousers and ties and elect to wear
just jeans and t-shirts. In-fact, this casual attitude is so potent that it’s
pervaded even the social scenes of tech hubs. Only a few handful companies
other than software companies would allow jeans and t-shirts.
Perks:
Desperate to
attract and retain the best and the brightest, tech firms shower their
employees with perks. Microsoft offers free drinks, a heavily discounted gym
membership, and all the expenses paid health care plan. While Google are one
Step ahead of Microsoft in this matter, they offer free sodas, breakfast,
lunch, dinner, free gym membership, on-site pool and gym, Deluxe health care
plan.
Of course,
cynics argue that these things are really just a way to trick the employees
into staying in the company for a longer period of time.
Work & Life
Balance:
There is a
severe shortage of engineers in the United States forces Companies to take good
care of their employees. They would lose too many qualified candidates
otherwise.
Workers are
encouraged to find a reasonable work/life balance like a 9 to 5 one. In which
you can spend your time with your family and do some other things too.
