Google is just amazing in how they treat their employees and ensure they remain on top.

They forgot the Hooker room pictures! :scared:

The massage room also doubles as the "Happy Ending" Room as well. :wink:

Have they told you about all this in their workplace?

I find it hard to believe for some reason (not that your friends work for google)
the fact that they have all that stuff, it's gunna put you off working.

Omg that stress machine should so be a computer or in some form in the future. As far as I can see they have some wierd alone time space areas.

Yeah they really do have all this shit.

But you have to realize that there are deadlines/budgets/goals to meet. So most of the time they are at their desk when not frolicking around.

Red, you should try Google NY. Then you wouldn't have to move across the country. That's if other commitments aren't holding you back, and you're willing to put up with the city.

NYC... straight male to female ratio of 1:7 IMO

I'm doing no such thing :001_tongue:
It's only a couple of hours away from D.C. It takes about the same time to cross half of Florida. Besides, I'm just giving Red some options.

I've thought about that. But I've decided I'm going to go back to school first this year.

Who knows, I might apply afterwords.

Fuck Google. I sit at a desk all day. No windows. No sound. Just the constant clack of keyboards to keep me company. I WANT A DAMN SLIDE! WHY NOT ME?!

Haha, granted - I'm an intern so I don't really expect much. I'll get windows when I'm a salaried employee in a year or two. Already offered a job hooray!

Go to www.wbcn.com, stream it, and turn up your speakers. It should help you get through the day. :partydance:

I have seen pics from Google HQ before, but these are much cooler!! WoW what I place to work. I thought the EA Offices here in Orlando was cool when I went there to play some BF 1942.

I tend to put my headphones on and go to www.pandora.com we're not really supposed to but I do anyway.

I seriously think my productivity would go up AT LEAST 50% if there was a slide...

I actually had a phone interview with them for a software development position in their Boulder office a few months ago. I didn't even make it to the second interview, lol. The weird thing is that I nailed every one of their questions. Oh well. I guess they didn't like my voice.

Or they probably want a fresh out of college kid that'll work for peanuts just to be able to say they work at google.

I want a slide so badly...I was walking around the office today thinking how fucking cool it would be to be able to slide into say, the kitchen area to get a bottle of water. It doesn't even have to be a twisty slide (though of course that would be preferable...one that is like a twisty tube! Hooray!)... it could just be a flat slide...I'd still love that. I'd go 'weeeee' the whole way down. It would brighten my day, and I'm sure everyone else's if they could go weeee down the slide...

Google is only for users over eighteen :001_huh:
At Microsoft's HQ, they treat their employees even better than at Google.

Anyway, Microsoft sucks badly.
