For all the Google employees, what are some of the perks and policies related to the devices we get eg mobiles laptops etc. and other nice perks that you enjoy? I’m currently hired as a fully remote employee because I’m not in a position to relocate for a year or two, so it would be really good to hear about some perks you can think of for work from home situations (eg allowances etc.). Just trying to understand this aspect given so many things are simply no longer offered (and that’s fine).

We get a company phone (iPhone or Pixel) or we can use a personal phone and expense part of the bill. Get a choice of laptop (Mac, Chromebook), and you can get things like monitors, keyboards, desk lamps, etc. No allowances to buy a standing desk or anything like that. That’s about it really
