Ever want to take a look inside Google??? Be My Guest !
Google solar array at their Mountain View, California world headquarters
Today, Google employs approximately 20,200 people around the world, receiving a resume every 25 seconds from eager job-seekers, hiring an average of nine new employees a day.
A full-size replica of "Virgin Atlantic 's Spaceship One" (space tourist vehicle) hangs in the reception area.
Exercise Facilities ============================
To work off the pounds, and the stress . . . .
Google has its own state-of-the-art gym offering supervised weight-training and a host of exercise machines, rowing machines, lockers, shower rooms and two swim-in-place wave pools.
Other perks include free haircuts, dry cleaning and laundry, child care, car services, chiropractors and five on-site doctors available for employee care and periodic check-ups.....all free of charge.
Perhaps the most unusual bonus of all.... employees can bring their dogs to work with them and keep the four-legged canine in their offices.
We already know that working for Google has certain advantages but, believe me, this giant of a search engine takes the welfare of its employees seriously as shown by this decompression (stress) capsule that is impermeable to sound and light....

Moving around the complex =======================
A slide allows quick access from different floors. There are also poles available between floors which are similar to the ones used in fire stations.
Food on site ===================
Employees can eat all they want for free from a vast choice of food and drink, prepared by in-house chefs.
Typical "Google Lunch"
Cookie selections
Work Stations =====================
Each employee has at least two large screens. There are 4-6 'Zooglers' per office.
Innovation =================
Large wallboards are available just about everywhere because 'ideas don't always come when seated in the office'..says one of Google's managers.
Leisure Facilities ==========================
Pool tables, video games, etc. are available in many areas.
Communication =============
On each floor, there are private cabin areas where employees can attend to their personal matters
Tech Stop ================
Having trouble with your computer? No problem.... bring it to this area where drinks, fruit and cookies are available while it is being fixed.
Health =====
Professional massage therapists are available.
The Best !!
Rest ====
View relaxing aquariums on massage chairs that you control
Ambiance ========
There are many books in this library....even some about programming !!
I would LOVE time out in this room!!
