Google: The best place to work at?
Now, the Googleplex, I hear, is a great place to work at. Well, more like the kind of place I would like to work at. The Googleplex has always been famous, but this photo-essay by Time Magazine gives an awesome insider's perspective of what it's like to work at the company that has been called, for a while now, the best company to work at. Here are a few of the 'perks':
- They have a rock climbing wall.
- You get to take your dog to work.
- You get to work on couches. No need of those painful office chairs.
- Recreation Facilities - Workout room with weights and rowing machine, locker rooms, washers and dryers, massage room, assorted video games, Foosball, baby grand piano, pool table, ping pong, roller hockey twice a week in the parking lot.
- They have a rock climbing wall.
- Free food. Healthy lunch and dinner- Gourmet cuisine at that. Snack Rooms with bins packed with various cereals, gummi bears, M&Ms, toffee, licorice, cashew nuts, yogurt, carrots, fresh fruit and other snacks. Dozens of different drinks including fresh juice, soda and make-your-own cappuccino.
- The cool 3D rotating image of the world the toggle switch that allows you to view points of light representing real time searches taking place all over the world.
- Did I mention the rock climbing wall?
Hmmm.... Why oh why didn't I take up computer science? For all the NPoV sticklers, here is a Microsoft guy's point of view. P.S: Free food means free coffee right?!! :-D
