California: Massages, films and mouthwatering food- it's all in a day's work if you're lucky enough to work for Google.
According to Fortune Magazine, Google is the best company to work for in the United States.
And one can witness it in Googleplex in Mountain View, California. The staff working there gets a lot of perks including a well-equipped gym, on site massages and medical care.
Transport, ranging from company provided scooters and pushbikes, to a massive fleet of shuttle buses and free food, are all part of a plan to attract the best and the brightest.
“I hear there are great benefits at work that will help me be more productive during the day and have more of a life when I get home,” says an employee, Stacy Savades Sullivan.
And theformula is working. Google gets over 3, 000 job applications a day from people wanting to join the company.
And to keep the staff happy, there seems almost no restriction. Another perk they get is what is called 20 per cent time- a chance to spend a day a week working on independent projects.
This has spawned some of Google's most successful spin-offs, including Gmail.
And at the office, apart from some funky designs that include white tents for colleagues to meet, Googlers appear free to do their work anywhere, an environment designed to encourage employees to be 'Googly'.
‘It allows you to do everything from bringing your dogs to work and question authority and work on the type of projects that interest you,” says an employee, Brett Cosby.
So with all the food and all those other benefits, could one even think of leaving the company?
“That is a great question, I don't know if I can work anywhere after Google. I think after Google, you either have to retire or go into a start up on your own,” says Crosby.
