What's it like to work in Mountain View?
Our global headquarters in Mountain View, fondly named the Googleplex, is a long way from our humble beginnings in a small garage in Menlo Park, CA. With Googlers hailing from every part of the globe, our campus in Mountain View is a diverse, creative and curious community. All of our key business operations are represented at the Googleplex, including product, sales, marketing, finance, legal, corporate communications and human resources. This is where we developed our passion and commitment to the company's mission, core values and corporate culture.
Transparency is a staple of Google's working environment – all voices matter and Googlers enjoy a variety of opportunities to share information and voice questions and opinions. For example, every Friday we host a "TGIF" event in Charlie's Cafe, where Googlers can learn about the company's latest news and ask their tough questions in live Q&A sessions. In addition, the Mountain View "miscellaneous" email list features discussions on everything from the best restaurants in the area to the various 20% projects being started at the company.
Over the years Google has expanded to more than 40 offices worldwide, but our Mountain View campus continues to serve as our largest engineering and research and development center. As in every Google office, high value is placed on an interactive, team-oriented, accessible and open environment in which we share a commitment to do the right thing for users, clients and employees. Learning and growing is also a staple of the Mountain View culture; Googlers have a chance to hear from some of today's most prominent thinkers, academics, artists, executives and politicians on campus as part of the Speakers@Google series.
The campus also features a variety of perks so that Googlers can focus on work without worrying about how they'll manage to get an oil change, do their laundry or of course, find something to eat. On any given day, don't be surprised if you see folks playing kickball on "GARfield," working out in one of the on-campus gyms in between meetings, grabbing a smoothie with teammates at Slice cafe, or enjoying some of our other on-campus perks.
