The highlights:
Google is dotted with various cafeterias for its employees. The food is not just your average cafe fare...it's restaurant-quality gourmet cuisine with some of the ingredients grown on site!
I had Indian. Kiddo had pizza.

Kiddo is now considering a career with Google. I'm not sure if it's because of its reputation for innovation (watch the video!) or the obviously very generous benefits (I think it's the latter. I shouldn't have let him have that sinfully delicious chocolate cake for dessert!).
I reckon Google would be one of the coolest places to work! Ball pits! Nap centers! Can't beat it :)
ReplyDeleteWow, how cool!
ReplyDeleteIt was super cool. :) I think it requires a tremendous amount of discipline to work there and not be distracted too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great experience for you two. I am so jealous! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a fun field trip!
ReplyDeleteWow! Now I want to work there! ;)

Thanks Jill and Glimmering Girl. :)
ReplyDeleteI know someone whose husband interviewed for a job there, and he raved about the food too, lol. He had to wear a mask at some point, so he wouldn't see "things."
ReplyDeleteYou know why they have all those nap places? Because you probably have to work LONG hours. At least, that's my jaded perspective.
Sheila, I thought the same thing but apparently that's not always the case according to my friend. It does sound too good to be true doesn't it? It really seems like a happy place. But I do hope kiddo will consider starting his own global empire before working for someone else! :)
ReplyDeleteI think they will love to have you, Alicia. ;)
