The first thing I noticed was how beautiful and well kept the grounds were! It really felt like I was on sacred work ground. Every building had bikes for employees to use, called "G-bikes". They are colored in the famous Google primary colors and thy aren't particularly special in anyway, but the fact that they are from Google makes them awesome. I had the privilege of riding a G-bike and it was smooth as butter.
In front of every building, they have electric car charge stations and the cool thing is that they are being used. We weren't allowed to go everywhere, but we did go into a few buildings and unfortunately, we weren't able to take pictures. Every 150 ft. there are food stations that look like fully stocked kitchens filled with healthy snacks. Fresh fruits, the best cereals, the best drinks. It's all free!
Even the cafeterias are free and they have 2 that I know of. One is made of all organic food and the other is a normal cafeteria. Pretty amazing. My friend said that he hasn't bought groceries in 6 months ha ha. How amazing is that?
The air quality is the best in the world. The CEO and Co-Founder, Larry Page, is a big believer of air quality and wants his employees to breathe in the best air you can possibly breathe.
We went to the main amphitheater where they have their big announcements every Thursday (they call it TGIF, but it is held on Thursday, for offices that are in China, since it is Friday for them). All of the chairs and tables are in the Google colors.
The building where Larry Page's office is fun more than anything. He has a slide that goes from his office to the main floor. The setting where he meets with "important people" is furnished with drink coolers, snacks, pool tables, arcades, and a foosball table.
Outside, we saw their swimming treadmills and they are free to use whenever. It truly is an amazing place and would be so fun to work. My friend absolutely loves working for Google and he had nothing, but good things to say. He works with amazing people from all over the world and their working stations are more communal than anything. He has done well for himself and I am happy for him!
The only downside to seeing Google was the depressed feeling I had when I left and realized I had to go to back to my job, which I actually loved before I saw Google ha ha.
It is no wonder why it is ranked the best place to work in America! God bless you Google.
