Google has been in the headlines especially with confirmation that it will not be killing its Nexus line. More importantly, the tech giant has managed to stay on top of its game for many years. According to industry observers and even employees, there is a reason the company stays strong throughout years.There is a reason why Google remains the "perfect search engine" without hints of stopping soon: it knows how to take care of its people.
According to Business Insider and Google, here are just some of the perks worth mentioning:
1. Great Food- They have three cafeterias that stack free snacks and drinks. They are equipped with espresso machines, a dessert bar, a pizza bar, a sandwich bar and a yoghurt machine with a toppings bar, plus so much more. They even have locally-grown vegetables available for them to take home every Friday afternoon. On top of all that, beer and wine can be consumed while relaxing after hours. Plus, let us not forget the chefs that create all those entrée selections that will definitely make you crave for more. The variety is tempting, isn't it?
2. Incredible Décor- The work environment is filled with color and magic that makes the atmosphere more fun and conducive. It is as if you are in a toy store. This appeals to young people because it provides a tempered transition from a campus environment to a corporate environment.
3. Amazing Amenities/Services- They have a 24-hour gym, they have lush greens and real plants surrounding them that allows each one a little connection to nature. They also have a doctor's office with a full-time medical practitioner. Plus, a hairdresser comes by several times a week if an employee needs a little trim to smoothen out the edges. And, if one spills some juice on his shirt, he doesn't have to look far because laundry service is also readily accessible.
4. Google Entertainment - Fun is within their midst. Pool tables, ping pong tables, foosball tables, fancy massage chairs and even a wall climbing station is present. For the ones who want their thumbs to do all the walking, they have game consoles on hand.
5. Spa-like services - If you were impressed by the fancy massage chairs then, you will even be more excited to know that there is a massage salon. They have four licensed massage therapists. Prayer rooms are also available.
6. Arts and Music - When one feels the need to go the artistic route, they can enjoy two rooms. One room has soundproofing, two electric guitars, a bass, a keyboard and a drum set. Employees can jam and rock it up with the amps. The other room has a ukulele, a jazz guitar and other classical instruments.
7. Annual trips - For team building and morale boosting, trips are scheduled once a year. The Whistler Ski Resort is an example of one of their amazing trips. Free lessons, rental equipment and lifts tickets were provided.
