Times are tough, and competition for tech talent is fierce. Google, therefore, is doing everything imaginable to attract (and retain) the best of the best -- including paying 50% of employees’ salaries for a decade after their death. What’s more, if employees had any dependent children, Google says it will support them with $1,000 per month until they reach the age of 19 (that age limit is raised to 23 if they're in full-time education). “As if free Nexus devices weren't reason enough for you to immediately apply for a job at Google,” The Verge jokes.
