Why People Want to Work for Google

Google has one of the most reliable and the happiest employees of all tech companies. Google also has a reputation of being the best place to work at in the entire world. For a company that has only been around for a about a decade, that is pretty impressive. The reason behind their success is shown in the following article.

Google has been ranked No.1 in Fortune's latest annual list of '100 Best Companies to Work For.' Wondering why? The Internet search engine giant, which employs 18,500 people in the U.S. (or over half of its global headcount), is one of the most sought-after employers worldwide. Why? It is because of Google's corporate culture. My job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities, and that they feel they're having a meaningful impact and are contributing to the good of society. As a world, we're doing a better job of that. My goal is for Google to lead, not follow that, Google co-founder Larry Page said. Google's creative and innovative corporate culture help its employees thrive - they work hard and play hard.

I believe this highlights the main points of why Google is one of the best companies to work for in the world. This passage demonstrates the unselfishness of the Google environment and also proves that Google’s main goal is to create a better and more connected world. Of course the passage is a little bias since the quotes are from the co founder of Google. However, this could also symbolize the humbleness and gentle nature of the company as a whole.

Is it because of the Global Education Leave program that enables employees to take a leave of absence to pursue further education for up to 5 years and $150,000 in reimbursement? Or could it be other thoughtful offerings such as unlimited sick leave, a $500 take-out meal fund for new parents, opportunities to ask the founders about their vision for the future of the company, or a chance to be involved in significant community service? You will be surprised to know that it is really not one of these items that have made Google a great company to work for. Rather, it is a combination of them and more that have made Google an incredible, sought-after workplace.

This passage highlights the best part about working for Google. They allow you to pursue your own dreams and don’t tell you what you need to do. The passage stated that Google encourages their employees to leave work and further their education and are even willing to provide reimbursements. I believe that this shows the public that Google is always looking out for its own and is also always looking into the future on how to make other lives better.
