Working at Google

During the last "Plan de Vida y Carrera" class we watched a couple of videos about the working enviromment in the Google campus in California.

I have to admit, it surprised me the working enviromment they have. It looks like a really nice place to work. I mean, who wouldn't like to work in a place where you can eat for free? or, where you can take free bicycles and go around the campus? or, when you can enter to work at whatever time you want? It sure is attractive for everyone.

Google has now become a world-wide company. It has predominance in almost every country in the world and it looks like its image it's what matters the most to the company. And why wouldn't it be that way when you are one of the leaders of communication in the world? I'm pretty sure that Google has all these working methods because it wants to make everyone feel good about it. How would Google react if there was suddenly a bunch of people angry at it? It wouldn't be pleasent news I'd say, so it's good to make most people happy while it's possible.

I'm in no way critizing Google because of this working enviromment. In fact, I want to make emphasis on how important it is to have a good image to show and to make the rest of people happy and comfortable, a work that Google has proven to realize.

I'm pretty sure Google will still be a world leader for a long time because it cares about its weakest foundation. It's not a common company with the common employes or directors. It is more like a big community of people who come together to share ideas and to participate in the global issues. This is why I think Google can take the stand and allow its workers this type of enviromment; because it's sure that's the way of building itself from the very bottom.
