  6. -Matt Malone:
    He’s a graduate intern at google in consumer oparations. He was surprised since “the first week” he saw the campus because the campus looks different. The common campus of a large Company normally have some buildings without specific social areas like volleyball nets or spaces to improve the creativity .The google’s campus can change the people minds with their social activities and not-common working places to achieve a better performance. For Matt it’s a different way to see the work, now it’s not a simple and boring idea, after google he looks the work like a extremely excited time to spend.
    -Kim Day:
    She’s from Melbourne, Florida and is studying physics and computer science at the florida institute of technology. She was working in a notification to be sent out to thousand of users with security purposes. Other reason about why google’s Company is special is the way to motivate their employees to learn and work on something in a unusual way. When she was a child she used to see some spacial center events.
    -Florian Koenigsberger:
    He’s from New york city. He said google haven’t limitations, Google’s company have a special sense and it’s most than a tech company
    -Paola Correo:
    She’s studying advertising and marketing at the university of Miami. She was impressed about the different impacts of a message in different places since a child, so I think that’s relationated with google’s atmosphere. She likes every new activity and maybe she looks the impact of their work in everyone. The google’s atmosphere try to show a creativity message to his employees just to achieve a better perfomance.
    -Grant Oakley:
    He’s from Spokane, Washington. He was excited because he Works in his ideal activity, making codes. He said he likes the codes he was making for the Company for the impact and the utility for the developers (to test their codes).
