  • Google is kind of a unique company for me and for, I think, for a lot of people that

  • work there. >> What Google does is it allows you a fantastic

  • environment to be innovative and to get your product developed really quickly.

  • >> It is a very different structure than the rest of the engineering community.

  • >> We always really try to avoid bureaucracy so that people can really do what makes sense

  • in their project. >> One thing that's great about Google is

  • that you have a lot of autonomy over your product and its directions.

  • >> We're encouraged to work on whatever we think is important. Often, the best ideas

  • come from the employees. >> At Google, if you come in in your first

  • week and you have a good idea on how things should be done and people agree with you,

  • in that first week, you can start making those changes.

  • >> The biggest resource is definitely the people.

  • >> One of the things that attracted me to Google and makes it a very comfortable place

  • is they hire the people who are very good. >> I think Google goes after people that are

  • entrepreneurial, that are kind of go-getters. >> Everyone in the company is just so accessible

  • and everyone is really driven to make the company succeed.

  • >> No two employees will have the same background. There's no formula...

  • >> We have people straight ahead of college. We have people who have been in the industry

  • for 25 years. >> The concentration of talent that we have

  • at Google is really quite amazing. >> I come to work and I look forward to the

  • conversation I'm going to have during the day with my colleagues and with people I haven't

  • met yet within the company because I know that, today, I'm going to find five new great

  • ideas that I'm going to excited about. >> We have yoga. We have Pilates.

  • >> I love massages. I'm a spa queen. >> Let me mention the food...

  • >> Food here, by the way, is great. >> We have a French lunch where we get together

  • and we speak French. We have the great cafeterias. >> There is any type of amazing cuisine, even

  • better than some of the restaurants in New York.

  • >> That's an extra benefit and pretty nice. >> You know that what you are working on will

  • be seen by millions and millions of people. And when you have that kind of visibility...

  • >> You're in a position to make a difference to people that you've never met.

  • >> It's something that makes it just fun to go to work in the morning because you're thinking

  • about the people that you're going to talk to or the problems that you're going to try

  • to tackle and solve so it's really a great place to work.
