This is a dream office.
Who does not know Google know everything!
But what is it like to work in one of the most successful companies in the world? Thanks to Ilya Varlamov, we have the opportunity to look behind the scenes of the new York office search that monster.
In the new York office of Google is quite compact, there are no separate town for their own, but the company tried to create a town in a limited area. He is a former “ground” terminal of the new York Harbor (now an office building), constructed in 30-e years, and occupies several floors. Although the building itself is rather large, say, larger than the Empire state building. There was, for example, mine freight elevators that could lift the whole truck. The building is entirely purchased by Google, but the other tenants aren’t leaving. In order to roll out on your floor, employees rely scooters. Guests of their office, unfortunately, do not offer.
In principle, the office looks more like a huge cruise liner. Every step of the way – entertainment and food. It is unclear how and when I’m working. In the office a bunch of game rooms – for fans of LEGO, table tennis, video games. Still have a billiard room, piano lounge and everything you need for a fun-filled entertainment. At every step – a kitchenette with food. In the building there are several lunchrooms, cafes and even massage rooms. When I asked does the abundance of entertainment on the performance, I strictly said that Google “don’t hire such people who are more inclined to idleness than to work. Besides, your work is watching not only the boss but also your colleagues. To work poorly in this environment ashamed.
In Google it’s simple: if you have time to deliver their projects faster other, you advance up the career ladder. But if your career is not as important as some personal projects, then you can, for example, to work 3 days a week, earn a good salary and have a lot of free time. So in the Google office the atmosphere of freedom was not created at the expense of performance.
In principle, in this office you could live… but Google employees are extremely well paid and housing will have no problems.
Those scooters only “Googlers”. Since the building occupies an entire block, from one end to the other to go long.
