Though Google has grown a lot since it opened in 1998, we still maintain a small company feel.
At lunchtime, almost everyone eats in the office café, sitting at whatever table has an opening and
enjoying conversations with Googlers from different teams. Our commitment to innovation depends
on everyone being comfortable sharing ideas and opinions. Every employee is a hands-on contributor,
and everyone wears several hats. Because we believe that each Googler is an equally important part
of our success, no one hesitates to pose questions directly to Larry or Sergey in our weekly all-hands
(“TGIF”) meetings – or spike a volleyball across the net at a corporate officer.
We are aggressively inclusive in our hiring, and we favor ability over experience. We have offices
around the world and dozens of languages are spoken by Google staffers, from Turkish to Telugu. The
result is a team that reflects the global audience Google serves. When not at work, Googlers pursue
interests from cross-country cycling to wine tasting, from flying to frisbee.
As we continue to grow, we are always looking for those who share a commitment to creating
search perfection and having a great time doing it.
