So I went to Google's London HQ yesterday

xylopwn [Edit] [Delete] 15:09, 8 January '10

And it's insane:

* Dogs are allowed, in general. A small sausage dog puppy barked at me as I appeared in one of the offices, and then tried to bite my shoe.

* There is a room full of musical instruments, to play when you're feeling sad. And I mean a full PA system and band setup.

* There is a room full of arcade games. Streetfighter 2CE is one of them. :-|

* The canteen is gigantic. It was 'curry day' y/day, so I went a bit crazy and got pretty much everything onto one plate. There were also smoothies, ice creams and effectively a small newsagents at the back of the room for picking up whatever you need.

* The reception has chairs like the google chrome circle.

* MOST IMPORTANTLY: EVERY SINGLE GIRL IS HOT, AND EVERY SINGLE GUY IS AN AWKWARD NERD.

I need a job there so, so badly. My friend works in HR, so I am going to send him this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLgI-qbrWVo on the hour every hour until he gives me a job.

That is all.

Also, it is opposite Microsoft's office, who they frequently give the finger to through the window. Talking about Bing resulted in much laughter. What a great place.
