For many, working at Google is the dream job. Not only are the projects undertaken by Google challenging and stimulating, the tech-giant is also known to have one of the best corporate cultures in the World.

“Googlers” get benefits such as free haircuts, complimentary on-site child minding, and gourmet meals served on the Google campus, which are again, free of charge.

Google employees are also given “spare-time” (which is still compensated) to experiment with ideas and also given adequate resources so that their ideas may come to life. In fact, Google Maps was a result of the “spare-time” given to employees. Google’s corporate culture has resulted in happier, more diligent employees, but at the same time has produced products that enrich the life of consumers while making a nice chunk of change for Google.

Because it is such a great place to work- and tons of people know this- Google is also able to attract the best engineers, designers, and programmers to their company because of their amazing corporate culture. In a way, the more Google as a company cares for their employees, the more they, and society, care about Google.
