Google Company
Google Company was created by Sergey Brin and Larry Page in 1998. It
started as a modest project but it is now a multibillion-dollar global organization
that employs more than 19,000 people around the world. “Google” is a play on the word “googol,” the
mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros.
Google's headquarters are in Mountain View, California. Google calls its
campus the Googleplex -- a combination of the words "Google" and
"complex" and a play on the term googolplex: One followed
by a googol of zeroes. Life at the Googleplex is pretty sweet. Here's just a
small list of the amenities you can find there:
· -Several café
stations where employees can gather to eat free food and have conversations
· - Snack rooms
stocked with goodies ranging from candy to healthy foods like carrots and
yogurt
· - Exercise rooms
Googlers solve complex problems everyday
in the name of its core mission to organize the world’s information and make it
universally accessible to its users. But what makes working at Google truly
unique is the workplace culture that encourages innovation and a healthy
disregard for the impossible.
Google employees receive a comprehensive benefits package that includes
not only medical and dental coverage, but also a host of other services. These
include tuition reimbursement, a child care center, adoption assistance
services, an on-site doctor, financial planning classes and lots of
opportunities to gather with coworkers at special corporate events. Google's
philosophy also places importance on nonprofit work, and so Google will match
up to $3,000 of any employee's contributions to nonprofit organizations.
