No exactly what I expected. I was thinking it would be more technical.
Either way, there is very little, possibly nothing, that a company not named Google can borrow from Google. The scale and venue that Google operates in too different.
- TulliusCicero 7y agoNah, there's plenty of things that would be cool to borrow. Generous (by US standards) parental leave, lots of holidays, excellent 401k plan, work flexibility, ease of job transfers, open/critical internal culture, blameless post-mortems as a standard thing, and of course, free food and gym.
- pbreit 7y agoI probably should have left out the "either way" since I mainly meant technical topics. Since you mention them though, many are not Google things. And others I would reject (ex: free food & gym).
- TulliusCicero 7y ago> Since you mention them though, many are not Google things. What does this even mean? Most of the technical process stuff Google does isn't completely unique to Google either. > And others I would reject (ex: free food & gym). Why though? Honestly, having worked here, it'd be hard for me to go to a place that didn't have these things. It's just so convenient and awesome!
