Googliness

You can make money without doing evil – says the first Google truth which holds the essence of the company started by Larry Page and Sergei Brin. Google India has been voted as the third best place to work in 2006. As we wonder what makes Google have a workplace the way it has, several things come into the forefront. Things like a great work atmosphere wherein work is coupled with breaks to suit oneself do enhance a person’s efficiency. At a place where the employees are supposed to possess what they call “Googliness”, the culture is that of blending work with life. The BW cover story “Workplaces that make you smile” highlights some of the features that make Google one of the most coveted for workplaces. The most striking feature of this company is the diversity that is present here, both in terms of culture and previous work experience. Smartness, passion for technology, and optimism for working towards the future are the criteria that are sought after in a potential Google employee. In fact, Google India has bolstered up the recruitments in India. So all those potential and wannabe Google guys, remember just one thing, it’s the idea that has made Google the place that it is.
