Ever wonder what it's like to work for Google? Their "perks" just might persuade you to make a career change... but not so fast. Their fancy toilets and on-site masseuse are appealing on the surface, but have you ever wondered what keeps the "googlers" constantly working? Yep it's the charted buses and blackberries that prevent you from ever truly escaping work. Even in the quiet times, in the solace of your own home, the forces of Google are pulling you. And everyone, but you, knows this tension doesn't clock out at 5.
What Lurks in It's Soul, is an article written by David Vise. In it, he explains Google's goal to "organize all of the world's information and make it universally accessible, whatever the consequences." After reading his article, I was curious to see how many companies "hook" their employees. Here's what I've found so far (and, yes, I googled "google"):
Corporate Information
25 things to see at the Googleplex before you die
Life as a Googler (from CNN) - Video
Google, the New No.1
100 Best Companies to Work
A tribute to MLK:
"When your day seems topsy turvey
And as stormy as can be
There's nothing quite as tranquil
As a nice hot cup of tea
While you savor this ambrosia
Your problems fade away
Its warmth will bring you comfort
And brighten up your day
So take a private moment
There's a calmness as you'll see
All because you briefly stopped
To sip a cup of tea."
