Working for Google is Like Not Working at All

Oprah takes us on a tour of what it’s like to what at Googleplex, the company headquarters of Google. If you thought your company had perks, you’re wrong. Googleplex is outfitted with gyms, on-site doctors, dry cleaners, free laundry rooms, two swimming pools, a sand volleyball court, and nearly a dozen cafeterias that charge nothing for the food!

It’s a no-brainer why Fortune magazine just named Google the #1 place to work in the United States. This final quote in the video sums the experience of working at Google:

“I love working at Google. It’s the next best thing to probably not working at all.”

    I couldn’t imagine going through a phone interview and then 10 different face to face interviews…but the benefits are worth the pain.
