Throughout
the corridors between the six buildings, there
are all sorts of Google memorabilia on display.
They even employ guides who specialize in
explaining Google’s history to people. There are
lava lamps everywhere, as well as free coke and
candy all over the place. They’ve also got huge
multicolored exercise balls everywhere.
What an
ambience!!!!!!!
Moving around: A slide
allows quick access from different floors....
There are also poles available ... they are
similar to the ones used in fire
stations.
INOVATION:
Large boards are
available just about everywhere because 'ideas
don't always come when seated in the office'
says one of Googles managers.
The casual
atmosphere in Google HQ can be demonstrated by
the fact that staff can bring their pets to
work, and the pets are allowed to wander around
the office.
Heaps of
people have pets at Google HQ.
Work
Station: Each employee has at
least two large screens. There are 4-6
'Zooglers' per office.
Managers
Cabins……..
Corridors…..
We already
knew that working for Google had
certain advantages, but, believe me, this giant
of the search motor takes the welfare of its
employees seriously.. As shown by this
decompression (stress) capsule that is
impermeable to sound and light...
You can use your own
mode of transport in the office!!!!
Swimming is the best way
to relax in office
So
is the Gym!!!
There’s a rule within
Google: that there must be food within 100 feet
of every employee.
This looks
more like a toyshop than a workspace!
Rumor has it,
a dude who had just joined Google had not been
able to find a flat, so he lived at Google HQ
for a month. He lived a lot better than Tom
Hanks in The Terminal. Meals are provided,
couches everywhere, there are showers in the
bathrooms, a gym and a swimming pool. Better
than the facilities at home! The dude didn’t
leave Google HQ for a month straight. By the way
he stayed in an igloo….
It’s all fun
and games!
Technical Support:
Problem with your
computer? No problem ... Bring it to this area
where drinks are available while it is being
fixed ...
Health: Professional
masseurs (eusses) available.
Don’t
say Google treats their employees like kids...
real kids play Lego on the floor, not on
tables!
Whiteboards at Google HQ
are filled with all sorts of great (or not)
ideas in all sorts of different
languages.
REST ...
This
room provides massage chairs that you control
... while you view relaxing aquariums ....
!!!
Entertainment
room…………
Ambiance
.... There are many books in
this library ... even some about programming
!!
There’s free food all
over the place, it almost look like a
supermarket.
Hmmmmmmmm
chocolate!
There’s also
a free laundry room for use for the
staff.
The beauty of
it all…..It’s Eco Friendly!!!!!!! All this runs
on Solar Energy
