So London is one of our corps development centers for mobile technologies.
>> The London Office is a fairly young Google office. It's a fully pledged Google office
so it has engineering and sales staff. >> So what we try to do is we try to build
a really strong mobile engineering effort based in London that can really drive our
mobile industries around the world. >> Working at Google is unique in a lot of
ways. >> The first day I was there, I had an email
asking if I wanted to book in for a free massage so on Thursday of my first week, I had a free
massage. >> Other things that you don't find anywhere
else--well, they give you breakfast, lunch, dinner and it's quite fantastic.
>> We constantly have speakers coming in. We have some of the people who wrote the C++
standard, the metrics [PH] of UNIX. All these people speak to us on a daily basis through
a series of tech talks. >> So I'm able to hear firsthand about everything
new that's coming out and everything exciting that we're doing.
>> I came to Google because it is a very different structure than the rest of the engineering
community. >> At Google, you have the opportunity to
direct your future and to determine where it is you want to go rather than to take a
path that somebody has already laid out for you.
>> What Google does is it allows you a fantastic environment to be innovative and to get your
product developed really quickly. >> We're encouraged to work on whatever we
think is important. Often, the best ideas come from employees.
>> People come from a really diverse sort of backgrounds. So they bring in a lot of
different viewpoints and different experiences to the table.
>> We have people who are Olympic champions. We have people that have climbed the highest
mountains. We have people that have done some very interesting and bizarre things.
>> You can sit down next to pretty much anyone, be the VP of Europe or a brand new hire and
really have a meaningful conversation with him.
>> There's a lot of collaboration and a lot of discussion between different teams within
Google. >> When you are exposed to these types of
people and you work with them on a daily basis, your knowledge increases because you learn
a lot from these people and, hopefully, they learn a lot from me, too.
>> Google as a company has been built to maximize innovation. And we are all about making all
the world's information accessible at all times to all people.
>> You are in a position to make a difference to people that you've never met. And I think
that's a really cool thing about working at Google.
>> It gives a great sense of reward because you know you're part of something that's affecting
thousands of thousands of people in the UK and across the globe. And I think to know
that you're part of something that's--maybe having an impact however great or small, you
know, in the world at large is, I think--it's something quite special.
