| Re: The best job in the world?
That's what it's like at Google, but you also have to realize the employees match a certain mindset. The Google engineers I met did not really live at home because breakfast, lunch, and dinner were free and thus it was expensive to buy your own food. Many of them would work on the weekends as well. But if you really like what you do and it matches what Google is looking for, it's exactly the sort of place you want to be.
I, unfortunately, like home too much and Google is a ~40minute commute each way. I couldn't build my home theater at Google. :P
It's not just the environment and perks. The culture is very unique. Many of the sorts of things you find at other places are not there and are designed to do things right.
