I was flipping through the channels, looking for something to watch and came across a CNBC documentary called “Inside the Mind of Google.” I am not sure if I would have been as interested in this documentary if I had not been enrolled in this class, but I learned almost everything there was to know about Google. It was an hour-long documentary that covered the Google work environment to how the economy is effecting Google. And not to forget the segment on the future of Google.
Even though I could not find the full length documentary (because you have to purchase it through CNBC) but I was able to find a few clips. Luckily one of the clips that I found was part of the documentary that I enjoyed. It was the segment on the Google work environment. Google looks like one of the more enjoyable places to work. They have created a marble track which is “remarkable”, they also have volleyball courts, foosball tables, ping-pong and seven executive chefs in their cafeteria. What more could you ask for from your job?
The next time the documentary airs is Saturday the 5th at 4pm and then again on Sunday the 6th 7pm (if anyone wants to check it out)
Rachelle, I also have seen a documentary on Google. It probably wasn’t what you saw (I just saw a short clip), but it also gave a quick run-through of the offices where they work and the environment that Google employees work out of. It’s interesting how the company creates a creative atmosphere around its employees, because that is what will get them to constantly think creatively. I heard that they will have a day out of the week where each employee can create their own Google application — what a creativity promoter! Anyways, I too think that Google makes amazing work conditions for its employees. Google is praised by its consumers and its employees (that’s always a good sign.)
