Working in the wrong office ?<\/SPAN><\/B><\/p>\n

\n


\n<\/p>\n


\n
Google Solar Array
\n
Mountain View, California
\n
Today, Google employs 20,223 people around the world, receiving a resume every 25 seconds from eager job-seekers, hiring an average of nine new employees a day.
\n
A full-size replica of Virgin Atlantic’s Spaceship One (space tourist vehicle) hangs in the reception area.
\n<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


Exercise<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n
To work off the pounds, and the stress . . .
\n
Google has its own state-of-the-art gym . . . offering weight-training and a host of exercise machines, rowing machines, lockers and shower rooms, and two swim-in-place wave pools.
\n<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n
Other perks include free haircuts, dry cleaning and laundry, child care, car services, chiropractors and five onsite doctors available for employee check-ups; all free of charge.
\n
Perhaps the most unusual bonus of all… employees can bring their dogs to work with them and keep the four-legged canine in their offices.
\n<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n
We already know that working for Google has certain advantages, but, believe me, this giant of a search engine takes the welfare of its employees seriously as shown by this decompression (stress) capsule that is impermeable to sound and light….<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


Stress capsule<\/SPAN><\/p>\n


Moving around the complex:<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n
A slide allows quick access from different floors…
\n
There are also poles available….they are similar to the ones used in fire stations.
\n<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


Food<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n
Employees can eat all they want for free from a vast choice of food and drink, whipped up by in-house chefs.
\n<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


Typical Google Lunch<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


Cookie set-up<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


Work Station:<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n
Each employee has at least two large screens.
\n
There are 4-6 ‘Zooglers’ per office.
\n<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


Innovation:<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n
Large boards are available just about everywhere because ‘ideas don’t always come when seated in the office,’ says one of Google’s managers.
\n<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


Leisure.<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n
Pool tables, video games, etc. are available in many areas.
\n<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


Communication.<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n
On each floor, there are private cabin areas where employees attend to personal affairs.
\n<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


Tech Stop<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n
Having trouble with your computer? No problem…
\n
Bring it to this area where drinks are available while it is being fixed…
\n<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n
Health:
\n
Professional massage therapists are available.
\n<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


Rest …<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n
View relaxing aquariums on massage chairs that you control …
\n
Ambiance.
\n<\/SPAN><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n
There are many books in this library…even some about programming!
\n<\/SPAN><\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n


\n
I would LOVE<\/SPAN> time out in this room!!
\n<\/SPAN><\/p>\n
