I think your current benefits are fantastic, stay where you are! After 12 months at Google you could be out of a job and not able to find a new one! Plus unlimited PTO is VERY rare!
Go!!! Job security is an illusion. The reality is that you're single, you're bored where you are, and Google will open doors for you. Large companies like Google are utilizing contract labor more than ever. Great time to get your foot in the door and make those connections. Go where the opportunities are...
I'd say go ahead and do it...but...don't be so sure that your work at Google will ever be acknowledged or provable to your next prospective employer. Will ABC staffing verify that you worked for them at Google or will they simply say you were employed by them for such-and-such period? Will they even verify you worked at all?
I have worked in IT since 1990's and when I was in my 20's I bounced around for more money when I turned 30 I stayed with one company which I was contracted with for almost a decade 7 years the contract was great benefits and such I had better deal then most employees there but I had no retirement I had a tiny 401k with no matching. Later I rolled over to a full employee but I waited for too long start saving for retirement. I only have 10 years with this company I'm 47 now and I'm being looked at as the one to layoff being the oldest guy in my group. My company IT department is under lot of pressure to keep cost down and productivity high which result is several different groups of upper management come and gone no loyalty with these people. I still have a few co-workers which were employees at the time I started they are within 5 years of retirement I have 10+. My advice is if you do bounce around do it in your early 20's don't do it too much make sure you always have aggressively saved for retirement only take a job where the pay accounts for that. If you add 30% money make sure you put lot of that away in your own retirement system. Future for retirement is going to be on the employee's shoulders the days of company retirement programs are about gone.
What would you do after your 12 months are finished? Exactly....stay with your permanent job. Or, move only for permanent better job.
