Following up on Apple’s disclosure of employee salaries, Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, was recently required to disclose employee salary offers in order to stay in compliance with the U.S. Office of Foreign Labor Certification where work-visa applications are concerned.
The results were fairly surprising, and even after recent layoffs, the highest base salary in the pay data was $1 million, paid to the company’s chief people officer. The lowest offer Google made was just under $55,000.
None of these offers include stock-based compensation, performance rewards, or bonuses, but it still offers some insight into what the search giant is willing to hand over to prospective workers.
Here’s what was discovered in terms of base salary offers for positions at Google:
- Product Analyst: $101,000 to $218,000
- Accountant: $111,000 to $191,000
- Solutions Consultant: $78,000 to $225,000

According to recent reports, Google has been slowly cutting back extras and perks, and the company’s in-house café is open and available to employees. Google also tightened up its policy on how long workers must wait before they are eligible to have their notebooks swapped for newer models.
Other temporary cuts include overall changes to catering, no more free massages, and the closure of some of its fitness centers and on-campus travel options. Google has even cut back on team socials and events, including holiday gifts and parties, as well as access to company merchandise.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
