According to opensecrets.org, they're in the top 2 for tech companies (their major rival is Comcast), but they spend much less than Blue Cross/Blue Shield or the National Association of Realtors. This has been true since at least 2010 (as far back as I checked). They do sometimes spend more than Boeing, which I wouldn't have guessed.

I meant to preface with "tech company." Google is only 9th overall, though they might have moved up in the past year
