Google Zurich HQ

March 18, 2008

Here’s something a friend sent me a link to… (Someone who’d previously worked here. I think he was taking the piss…). Provoked a number of thoughts and one discovery: if you go to YouTube and search on Google and then a major city you’ll find a short video on working for Google in that city, a walk ’round their office environment and a few talking heads/testimonials. Interesting recruitment angle/corporate culture insight/opportunity for myth making…?As to the firemen’s poles etc. What do you think?http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7290322.stm(Sorry, the above was meant to appear as a link but I can’t figure out how to do that. If anybody knows please let me know. Hopefully you can copy and paste the URL. Thanks.)

Coming soon to a Google regional site near you! GOOGLE SPY — or the more friendly term in Google-land of ‘Street View’.  Only available in the U.S at present so in the mean-time take a look (at least I think as I’ve never been myself) at Landor San Fran’ office (See attached)In other more populated U.S cities you can look in to peoples houses — bliss.    landor-san-fran.pnglandor-san-fran.png
