there were some pics in a time magazine. 3 gourmet meals a day. A bar/hangout place for employees (multiples of these). Some swimming pool workout, daycare for the kids.... etc...etc...

No wonder why it's so hard to get a job there...

They don't hire anybody at Google, ever. People pass jobs at Google on to their children, like some sort of employment inheritance. Only way to work there is to buy enough stock to get in the door.

Yep, it's near impossible to get a job at Google...

In their lobby... Realtime searches display:

I implemented one at work that's got some more interesting queries. Like location grouping (even aggregating searches near major metro areas into that area), top searches with no results, etc.

That's awesome.

Why? It looks as if it is setup for people to be comfortable after working horrendous hours. Why else would you need a laundry mat?

Actually, that's not the case. The reason that Google's offices are comfortable is because the founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page wanted to give Google a collegiate atmosphere, because they said that they were laid back people themselves

The flowchart wall at the bottom of the second page is pretty funny. When I saw it there were boxes with Battlestar Galactica and other TV shows, Google for world domination, and Bush sucks. I don't know how often it changes though.

That isn't in the lobby, it's projected on an East wall of the Asian themed eatery.

Nope. You just have to be smart and stand out among other applicants.

Yeah, that's not true... there are people on this very forum that work for google that have posted about job openings at Google and helped other members get jobs there.

 

[Looney]

Should watch the documentary The World According to Google.

12 hours is not bad at all....it sucks if it's 7 days a week though. that's what i was pulling in my consulting days back at accenture
