Perks of Being a Googler

Over the last decade, Google has provided us with fast and easy access to available information via Google Search, email (Gmail), an office suite (Google Drive), social networking (Google +) and many more, which is why we love Google. But you know who may love Google just a little bit more? Their workers. If Google’s thriving company doesn’t already exceed in enough, it’s their innovating workplace that sets the bar high in the company’s points of difference. Working at Google isn’t just your stereotypical cubicle in a fancy high-rise, because this “fancy high-rise” is actually called the Googleplex.

It could easily be mistaken as an all inclusive resort, with free meals provided by 14 different cafes, snack rooms, 4 fitness centers, drop-off laundry service, a free medical health center, a spa and last but least the famous sleeping pods. One thing Google definitely doesn’t lack in is their value into their workers. But it’s not just for rewards, Google’s perky work setting is meant to inspire creativity. They believe happy workers equals more value into their work and greater productivity. Not only that, but they use corporate strategy such as long queue for the lunch counter to promote “serendipitous interaction” amongst employees intentionally to inspire ideas, leading to projects. Google differentiates in the whole workplace experience as they put a lot of thought into promoting motivation in their team, so that all workers want to contribute to the company’s success.

“We’re so used to working within hierarchical structures that we can’t fathom how someone could have a billion-dollar idea at a very junior level. But good ideas come from all ages and all ranges of experience. Silicon Valley was the first place to understand that.” – Mr. Piscione
