Less than 1% of Google employees over 40
At a Google conference in April 2010, the figure for the first time was announced how many employees in the company are 40 years old or older. It turns out that such "a little less than 200 people." Age-related employees are called “ greyglers ”, for the most part these are senior managers, including honorary vice-presidents, such as Screw Surf.
Given that the company's staff is 20,621 people, then the staff at the age of 40+ years accounts for less than 1%.
This figure shows how short the professional life of an average programmer is. In fact, 40 years for an ordinary developer is already the retirement age (according to neurobiologists, the degradation of nerve cells in the brain begins at 39 years old ). If by this point you do not reach the next stage of your professional career, then you can no longer dream of working in a large and promising company.
As is known, the policy of the US government in the field of labor migration (in particular, the rules for issuing H1B visas) is specifically designed to ensure that talented young professionals come to the country and work out the best years of their lives, and then return to their homeland.

Young employees are cheaper for any company: they can work 12 hours a day, require less pay and a social package for them (including medical insurance) is much cheaper. Even if the qualification of a young employee is lower than that of his age "competitor", then still he is more preferable for the company because of better learning.
In companies like Google, young people are part of corporate culture. It comes to the fact that already at the age of 28-35 years a candidate for a place may be considered too "old" and prefer a younger programmer to him.
