Benefits of working at Google
“The goal is to strip away everything that gets in our employees’ way.
We provide a standard package of fringe benefits, but on top of that are first-class dining facilities, gyms, laundry rooms, massage rooms, haircuts, carwashes, dry cleaning, commuting buses
– just about anything a hardworking employee might want.”
Eric Schmidt, CEO Google
Employees
• As of 2013, Google had 47,756 employees
• In 2007 and early 2008, several top executives left Google and joined yahoo and facebook.
Retention technique• As a motivation technique, Google uses a policy
often called Innovation Time Off, where Google engineers are encouraged to spend 20% of their work time on projects that interest them. Some of Google's newer services, such as Gmail, Google News, Orkut, and AdSense originated from these independent endeavors. In a talk at Stanford University, Marissa Mayer, Google's Vice President of Search Products and User Experience until July 2012, showed that half of all new product launches in the second half of 2005 had originated from the Innovation Time Off.
