What It Is Like Working At Google Headquarter As A Software Engineer by wearobo: 12:00pm On Sep 27, 2015 |
I joined Google 2.5 weeks back. So may be its too early to answer this question. But still want to share my experience. As a computer science student, Google was always my dream company. So working in Google HQ is like living in the dream for me as of now. Here you can work with the best brains around the world, can use latest technology and tools. Even being a noogler (new Googler) you can be part of cool future projects that are yet to release. Work environment is very friendly and all teammates and managers are helpful and supporting. Though it may take months to fully understand Google architecture, but you can access the codebase from inside and feel it how the features you always use are actually implemented. Company culture is to encourage and support new ideas (eg: google 20% time project). Working in headquarter gives you the opportunity to see and listen to big personalities like Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Sundar Pichai etc in person quite often. Joining events of Google in person is of course very exciting. And it is a free world. Free food, free laundry, free gadgets, free massage, free gbus with WiFi. Have to mention the Google food explicitly. Breakfast to dinner, various cuisines are served in different cafes and its so yummy that almost every Googler really gains at least 15 pound after joining. (Famous 15 pound joke ![]() Only problem with working in Google is that there are so many excellent people around, often you can feel very small. But actually I think it's a great opportunity to learn from these people. Overall for me its very challenging and that's the charm cc Lalasticlala Credit http://www.wearobo.com/2015/09/what-it-is-like-working-at-google.html#sthash.fPEqsjx5.dpuf |

For example, there's something called "the sleep pod" where Googlers are allowed to take a nap during work hours. |

It has been my dream since I got to know Google is more than a search engine to work at Google. I want to apply for Google Nigeria Internship/IT. How do I do that? Dont mind me, I am a Google/Microsoft freak (I prefer Microsoft to Google). Nice @ Op. . . . But don't you need exceptional electronic skill to work in X-LAB? (producers of Google glass)? Oya drop how you did it joor. . . Am serious and waiting. ![]() ![]() cc : wearobo 2 Likes |

Since it's your desire working with Google, I say congratulations to you. My advice to you working with Google is keep your head, work with standard set up, follow instructions set up for you, be creative and at last be prayerful just because almighty Google respect's no one. Once again, I congratulate you. My best regards. |
