Google also has a thriving 200 person office in Santa Monica (a beach city a few miles outsie of Los Angeles), with many of the same perks as the main campus in Mountain View -- a variety of interesting projects, free snacks everyday, catered gourmet lunches and dinners (if you happen to be working late), onsite masseuse, sponsored happy hours and office outings and a game room with pool table, ping pong table, playstations and Plasma TVs. Once you receive an offer from Google you can choose what office you want to work in as long as there is a technical project fit. http://www.google.com/support/jobs/bin/topic.py?de p_id=1054&loc_id=1118
