 INTRODUCTION

FOUDERS

Google was founded in 1998

Larry Page Serguéi Brin

• On Fortune magazine's list of the best
companies to work for, Google ranked
first in 2007, 2008 and 2012
• Google's corporate philosophy includes
principles such as "you can make
money without doing evil," "you can be
serious without a suit," and "work
should be challenging and the challenge
should be fun”.
ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE
• How Google Hires?
• Each year, Google gets over
2.5 million applicants. That’s
equal to 6,849 per day and
about 5 per minute
• When you get interviewed at Google, you’ll
receive questions like:

• “How many golf balls can fit in a school bus?”

• “There are 8 balls. Seven of them weigh the

same, but one is heavier. Using a balance scale,
how do you find the heavier ball with just two
weighings?”

• “You are shrunk to the height of a nickel and your

mass is proportionally reduced so as to maintain
your original density. You are then thrown into an
empty glass blender. The blades will start moving
in 60 seconds. What do you do?”
PERKS OF WORKING WITH Google
• Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The organic food is chef-prepared
• Free health and dental
• Free haircuts
• Free dry cleaning
• Subsidized massages
• Gyms and swimming pools
• Hybrid car subsidies
• Nap pods
• Video games, foosball, ping pong
• On-site physicians
• Death Benefits
 Google uses all sorts of data to gauge
employees and improve their productivity.
• Lunch Lines:
You know by now that Google offers free meals and snacks to
all of its employees. So what’s the optimal lunch line?
According to Google it’s about three to four minutes. Any
longer and they may waste time, any shorter and they don’t
get to meet new people.
• Lunch Tables:
If you want employees to meet each other, make the tables
long. This will expose them to more people who they can get
to know.
• Paid Time Off for New Mothers:
New mothers could get 5 months paid time off with full pay
and benefits. The result after the change in policy? A 50%
reduction in attrition for new mothers.
• A warm greeting for new employees: A warm greeting for a new
employee turns out to have a big impact. A manager greeting a new
employee with ‘Hi nice to meet you, you’re on my team, we’re gonna
be working together’ and doing “a few other things” leads to a 15%
increase in productivity over the following nine months.
A Clear Purpose…
Google has a great culture because it has a great purpose that
is clear and direct: “To organize the world's information and
make it universally accessible and useful.” Having a mission
that the company sticks to helps Google have a leading
culture.
