Computer Science graduates have aspired to work for Silicon Valley tech giants since Google first entered the scene back in 1999, but are these firms still a good choice?
With more openings than smaller startups, attractive compensation packages, and room for advancement, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and other big names have plenty to offer, but the big bucks will come from joining their modern-day equivalents.
