T.I.L.T: Things I Love Thursday.

  • Imagining working at GOOGLE!


-Got the Munchies? Google have 11 gourmet Cafeterias where you can chow down on breakfast, lunch and dinner... oh yeah, it's ALL FREE!


-They snack rooms which contain various lollies, cereals, nuts, yogurt, carrots, fresh fruit etc, and dozens of different drinks including fizzy drinks, smoothies and cappuccinos.... and yup... ALL FREE
-You have the option of being picked up and driven to work by the high tech WiFi bio-diesel bus too, but if you choose to drive, you are not left out. Onsite car washes and oil changes are among the numerous perks Google offers to all its workers.
-Want to buy a hybrid car? The company will give $5,000 toward that environmentally friendly end.
-They have their own FREE Hairdressing Salons on site... naturally.


-Care to refer a friend to work at Google? Google would like that too, and it'll give you a $2,000 reward.
-Just have a new baby? Congratulations! Your employer will reimburse you for up to $500 in takeout food to ease your first four weeks at home.
-Gyms, personal trainers, nutritionists, wave pools, spa pools, rowing machines, locker rooms, volleyball pits, massages, child care, five onsite Doctors, and personal concierges that arrange dinner reservations are all what working at Google and getting FREE stuff is all about.


-Hate doing your Laundry? Meh, bring it to work and have it all done and ready for you by the morning tea break.
-Can't be bothered walking anywhere? let the FREE custom detailed motorized Scooter you got given to zoom through the halls do all the work.
- Hate leaving your Animals at home unattended? BRING YOUR PETS TO WORK!


- If employees need a break from their desk, Rock climbing walls, Pool Tables, Foos ball, Video Games, Ping Pong, Roller Hockey are some of the options available to recharge the mind.


-In the mood for a mental workout? Googlers can also study Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish and French, or visit the mobile library.
-Tired Googlers can take a break in a decompression (stress) capsule that is impermeable to sound and light.


-On each floor, there are private cabin areas where employees can attend to personal affairs.


-Take a break in a self-controlled massage chair…while you zone out watching aquariums.


-Additional perks include ski trips, company movie days, summer picnics, holiday parties, health fairs, quarterly group offsites, a credit union, saunas, roller hockey, outdoor volleyball pits, discounts for products and local attractions.


With all of these perks and resources available, why would employees ever need to leave the workplace?


It’s no wonder Google is so successful.
