This doesn't seem surprising, given the cost (I assume) of living in SF.
This number is always shown around and it's such a tease, playing right into Google's PR team.
Graduate school level interns make maybe that much, which isn't surprising considering they're mostly in their mid/late 20's or for some even much later in their career. I would expect it.
For undergrad and BOLD interns they're only being paid around half that.
Free food is just now a communal thing, the other stuff are just niceties. But really, it's such a big organization now that you're not doing that much munching on the outer edges. Just another brand to decorate your resume.
I felt soulless there.

I don't know what Google pays, but I know several interns (including one freshman) working for similarly large companies pulling down $45+/h (Which works out to over $7k/mo before considering the free housing etc.)
I'm inclined to believe those numbers you hear in public.

I do, it was my job there.
This is from last year (06/12/2013).
Since Google is largely a "level" based company, could a change in this reflect the larger inflation/deflation of Google salaries?
