True. I'm also guessing this number changes a lot with stock grants (that number was just base pay), and that yearly number seems pretty low (NYT has the entry level engineer at 124,000 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/08/technology/google-salarie...) so glassdoor might not have good data.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was much more than 6%.

I also wouldn't be surprised if it was more than 6% - but I very much doubt it could be over 12-15%. That's still not a very high percentage of revenue. It's most definitely a significant cost, but unlikely to be their biggest cost.
