Inside Google's Massive Headquarters

- We all use its services every day, it answers our most bizarre questions, you’re even watching this video using the company’s video streaming platform. We’re talking Google, or more importantly, it’s bank busting Silicon Valley headquarters.
A short walk from the San Francisco Bay Area, and a stone’s throw away from other multinational headquarters like Apple Park and the homes of Facebook, eBay and Netflix, sits the 26-acre site on which we find Googleplex.
Based in Mountain View, the Google headquarters gets its name from a play on words. Most evidently, it is a combination of Google and complex. But spelled a little differently, googolplex is an incredibly large number, with lots of zeros after it. The latter explanation is probably a hint towards Google’s global monopoly, and its incredible successes. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
I asked a Google employee to list the stuffs Google gives them for free. He replied, "It's easier to list the stuffs Google doesn't give you."
Cardo Richard: Wasn't the first draw the free food.
@@Slippin_Jimmy_: In addition to salary, aka perks. There was quite a bit of marketing in the heyday of invested tech company start-up's showing their free meal cafeterias for the general workers.
I can’t imagine working for a company that has all that! I notice very few “older” people. Guess I’m out 😂
@@debrataylor1813 They are actually one of the companies that don't discriminate old people.
@@cardorichard4148 dude thats rude. Olser people
Google is proof that giving people what they need increases productivity, rather than make them lazy.
Stop listening to republicans. They have conditioned us to feel like we need to prove this self evident truth.
that only works with very smart and productive people, these people arent random google picks the best of the best and tries their best to make them feel good so they keep working for google
Employee don’t play all day they work
@@tabletopa4548 Really? How many of them have work related injuries? Are they really working?
@@illreportbackinabit.8514 Not physically, but mentally yeah tech companies basically codde their employees to bed lol
It's genius to allow them 20% of their time to focus on side projects. The thing is that Google owns that project if they do it on Google time. So they get people working on what actually interests them, and they also get to keep the reward from that.
Some good stuff were actually made out of it, including Gmail or such
@@vdmir40 ya, Gmail was original a side quest and they didn't even believe in it taking off. and look at it now..
@@kingsmod8777 well i still dont use gmail. infact my google account isnt a gmail one. i somehow managed to get one with my email that i had before which is a .gmx one.
My understanding is they cancelled the 20% time rule.
And it was a google employee that told me this.
@@richardkalmwater5996 they also cancelled 10% of workers probably from their 'innovative and useless' or finished projects
I've been looking at a fair number of videos for high profile corporate headquarters and it's really fascinating to see how varied the different cultures are. Like not necessarily better or worse, just different. This is by far the most "fun" of the bunch, for sure!
You found any other corporate headquarter interesting?
It's like a very well designed school or university.
More offices should be like that one !
The tech industry is exploding as we enter the new decade... just imagine where everything will be in 20-30 years! Cheers to the world of innovation!
except it is built on lies and evil corp money
More like a country
If they earn like Google does they can lol
tell that to bezos.
Man, I'm honestly scared of what these giant companies are capable of.
True. But also If you think about it the more powerful they get the more convenient and easier their services are to reach. But on the other side of things it makes it even harder for new Tech start ups to even get a foot hold.
Really scary how happy all there employees are and how much they love working there and being taken care of. Horrible I know.
@@jesseross639 true, its rare for an employee to be happy with their jobs, its a dream to be an employee of such big companies like Google and Apple
Well, they can feed us that's for sure
Fu**k🤣
One of the most cited studies indicates that overall, Google receives over 2 million resumes per year, and 1 out of every 130 applicants receive a job offer. To compare, Harvard University accepts 1 out of 14 applicants for their incoming freshman class. It is literally 10 times harder to get into Google than Harvard
I would imagine the people applying to Harvard have already met all the basic requirements that put them at the very top of all college freshmen. It's possible Google attracts ALL applicants, not necessarily the cream of the crop. I'm not sure how it works.
challenge 1: live somewhere where Harvard is actually accessible
in iit's the bar is highest
Google Using Macbooks For productivity 🥰
Cbeesd,vv go cc xxxkokp poop j kounl ph 😂 pp
Some people say that most programmers use Linux. If so, then why all people at Google use MacBooks ;-)
@@kocho4242 A lot of Googlers do use Linux. The Macs are mostly just clients into Linux workstations. Some use Chromebooks or Linux laptops instead. Honestly, it’s up to personal preference for the most part. So long as you can get your work done :)
business people like to use macs for some reason and when you develop apps for apple product.
@@davidg7639 honestly, they’re nice if all you want is to use a computer. It also ties in very nice to the rest of the Apple ecosystem. The laptops aren’t even hopelessly overpriced, especially since they went to M1. Just don’t expect to repair them, of course.

Google/Alphabet is near the top of the list for lobbying Congress and it's a big contributor to local and state governments. In 2019, Google spent $18 Million on campaign contributions to Congress and it's getting back millions more in corporate welfare for self driving cars, data surveillance, monstrous real estate development projects, and other freebies courtesy of the taxpayer.
It's a sure bet Google (and Microsoft) will also be getting a huge government contract to implement "ID 2020" which is an implanted RF chip to provide electronic certificate that you've been vaccinated for Covid.
Everyone in the San Francisco Bay Area is well aware of having the gracious privilege of paying sky rocketing housing prices because of politically connected Google's corporate welfare handouts.

Expert Mr Pierre has changed my financial status for the best. All thanks to my aunty who introduced him to me.
first i doubt it before I gave it a try
Google is so smart. They invest in the well being of their employees by building (free) gyms, healthcare clinics, swimming pools, yoga studios, providing free food, encourages employee side projects, etc etc etc. And in turn, their employees creates better technologies, services, and softwares for us the consumer which Google benefits from. More companies needs to learn from Google.
Plus... their pay and benefits is pretty great it looks like.
If i can have my own bedroom with with a bathroom and closet .My home will be there inside the google headquarters
Ok commie.
Many people's are, though that's more due to the expected overtime. I would hope it looks good because you WILL be spending A LOT of time in there.
there you go. WFH. you have it
As a South African, I’m happy it was designed by one of our Architects 🇿🇦🔥

Very nice offices, would love to go for an in person tour there.
It’s insane the resume you need to even be though of getting to be at google. Just a brief look at any intern will inspire you to do better.
Ironically, they check for simple spelling errors, so............
I'm bingewatching various tech giants headquarters and Apple's spaceship was the first I saw. It was overwhelmingly beautiful. It was sleek, sophisticated, and very modern (with all its curtain glass and symmetrical plan)
Until I saw Facebook's, Google's, Microsoft's, and Samsung's (which was almost like a city) and I was more captivated at how it "take care of its employees" by making their design asymmetrical, free-flowing, playful, and carefree rather than projecting sleekness and "rigidness" which more often than not creates a "museum" vibe where you'll feel scared to move that you'll stumble and break something and doesn't really help whatsover to boost creativity and productivity for its employees. (not to mention the ridiculously expensive materials used for that)
Overall, the headquarters and its facilities speaks volumes of what philosophy they have in creating and selling their products to people.
damn that headquarters can be a small city
Yup, a city I'd love to enter.
Also add a chapel please 💒 ⛅️💫
If you wanna see a real city like this, just look up Samsung Digital City.
@@-HolySpiritDove- It is there, but as meditation rooms
@@-HolySpiritDove- please shut up ❤️💫✨
I never see myself have one of this kind of building but somehow it motivates me to keep moving.
Just watched the video about the Apple Headquarters, and this just looks so much better. I get the feeling that the Apple Headquarters were build to please one man: Steve Jobs - and is only focused on the design and how the building should wow the visitors, with no regard to how the actual employees would feel about working there.
But this. This is not built for the CEO, this is build for the employees who are the working machine behind the great company Google.
I applaud you Google. It really looks like you care about the work environment and I'm pleased to support you
i like how employees at google are using macbooks 😂
Chrome os was never intended for heavy tasks like the ones they do
Chromebooks are mostly intended for students and people that don't need to do heavy tasks.
These tech giants headquarters encourage creativity
In my high school they take that away by making us memorize random crap and throwing it up on a test
This looks like a hell of a better place to work and enjoy life while you work than the Apple Park video I just saw! 👍
imagine working at google, doing what you love is your work, free almost everything and a huge salary. feels good man
Clive Wilkinson represented South Africa very well in the architectural and interior design of one of the buildings in the Googleplex.
One of those videos you enjoy watching right from selecting it
Keep it up
Watching in my small office in a remote village in india 🇮🇳 I am also thankful to Google for the little helps you doing for my brand "lines telecom"👍
**shows employees in google headquarters using MacBooks**
you know google isn't windows right ?
@@jammer1993 google makes their own laptops so it’s surprising they aren’t using them (the chromebook)
@@devesha Most of the programs that the devs need to create and debug their code doesn’t work on Chromebooks so it would be pretty unrealistic to get their employees to use an unsupported platform (unless they instal Linux)
@@jammer1993 they have chromebooks

damn man, this is one of reasons why I love to work at silicon valley (at google specifically) coz u don't just "work" but u can also have fun.
thank you for posting this, what a great place to work
I imagine Google has a budget, but it's just so large that it's imperceptible to the human eye, like the curvature of the Earth
hhhmmmmmmm
The thing they don’t tell you is that this approach to their campus massively increases productivity, particularly for programmers. All those activities allow people to walk away from their work and let their brain work subconsciously. All the other stuff provided is to attract some of the best employees in the world, just like how any top college spends a bunch of money on athletic facilities to help nudge top athletes to their programs.
just seeing photos and videos of this makes me jealous. it looks so cool
When i was younger i wanted to be collaborator at Google. They build a new headquarters, is so awesome!
Imagine getting fired from such giant campus walking back to your home while you're staring at your former employees scary feeling 😱
Just don't do anything dumb
Google hardly fires any of it's employees, Just make sure to do your part genuinely and you'll be safe
@@abhishektiwari5198 wrong.
Very cool video!
It was cool to see how google handles its campus 😄
This is what “no budget” looks like...
Google: due to covid, our company will let you guys work from home for a while
Employees: We are at home
I’m so confused why I’m seeing this now? It’s 2020 and this video is acting like Google is a new exciting startup.
What are you confused about? It's a pretty straightforward video on Google's headquarters...
That's why they are split. Alphabet and Google. One is for the daily business and one is made for the new technologys, for new ideas, just like a start up. It's absolutely impressive.
Google hq recently got a big renovation maybe that’s why
Google: Providing all sorts of food to their employees in huge quantity
also Google:
stops naming Android Versions after Desserts :(
Wait, did they do that!?
@@mr.boomguy yes Android 10 didnt get a dessert Name, just Q
Thank you for sharing!
When he said "even giant screens showing live google search terms from around the world" I was like 😲
I am fascinated as well as terrified...
I'd definitely want to work for google if I was a software engineer
I live near this HQ (15 minutes away) and I'd love to see it!
Beautiful campus. My brother works there and has invited me several times. He says that most of the time you don't get to access all of these amenities because of the workload. I don't know how that is for everyone.
Liar!
Employee : Yo google I need some snacks for free.
Google : Ok coming up.
Employee : I need some more for my family.
Google :Do I look like a farmer to ya.
What😐
And then covid 19 hits
All service gone 😂
😂😂😂
Exactly! Expensive and under utilized property.
Imagine getting fired from such giant campus walking back to your home while you're staring at your former employees scary feeling 😱
@@teedsthemoney9046 omg that's so pathetic
who are you ?
I’ve been there, there is a visitor store on the complex for tourists to come by.
Love how there are so many macbooks in this video 🤣
That's what Apple does. It gives ALL businesses a tool to work with. We all have apples everywhere no matter where we live or work.
I went to this place few summers ago (one of my relative worked there) as visitor it was really cool
Silicon Valley is a cool place lol
I'm jealous you guys have your own Atari Asteroids arcade! Next we'll be finding out you have a Taito Space Invaders arcade to.
I saw lots of laptops being used by the employees throughout the video. The irony is that ~80% of the laptops seen being used are Apple Macbooks (Google's biggest competitors). I saw a Chromebook like once during the entire video - Lol.
That is very interesting.
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.
I'm glad to see that at least some people are happy at their job.
Ever since they changed CEO's, there's been too many limitations on Google such as user restrictions on Google voice, the annoying Chromebook, etc.
at 0:48 for some reason I laughed so hard when he said "maybe that's why disnasors still looking after the complex today"
I’m amazed! I wish places were all like this!
I'm surprised more businesses don't look at concepts like this.
One of my best friends wife works at Google in Michigan and I’m pretty sure she would be just as jealous as I am about their main headquarters

One wonder if that juvenile interior design is purposeful so to keep staff in a docile state.
Google: "we have the best headquarters"
Apple: "hold my wallet"
At least you can walk around Google campus. Apple? See you at the visitors center and that's it.
This is all so great, except the working part
U just feel at home away from home. Amazing!
People in this video look so friendly. When I interviewed at Google, I said I don't need the 5 minute bathroom break, but I need 2 minutes to finish a granola bar. The interviewer said: no, your lunch is scheduled to be one hour later, so you are not allowed to have the granola bar. What an a**hole.
They all have macs! Shouldn’t they have chrome books.
Gasps in samsung
not powerful enough and doesn't support many "pro" apps
Google's a joke not even Google employees use google......they haven't created anything useful in over 10 years now.
They know there products suck
1:45 those are Pixelbook, Google's own laptops that run chromeOS
1:18 OH NO
"a giant screen showing live search terms" UHHHHHHH, does this happen to also show my incognito searches? lmao
I am a Google fan and am more than impressed by the working conditions and other things like free eating,sports ,massages and kuch more.I watched this video from Hamburg Germany 👍
Yay someone from South Africa
It’s kinda funny that some of the people have Mac books and not chrom books
Teacher: What's inside Google headquarters?
Me: A city... A whole city

"Google even allows 20% of time for side projects outside of your main tasks." Everything you think of is put right back into the company. I mean, outside of the tech job you probably use other tech. The only thing they care less of is the product of your personal waste disposal system.
It kinda embarrassing to me that it's the tech giants and other large businesses that's on the cutting edge in work environment, while public schools and other places are lacking behind.
They're either way ahead of our time, or it's the other way around...
It’s really sad that to be this far ahead there is a huge disconnect with regional social responsibility. The areas in which they reside should reflect this innovation. At what point does not sharing a drop of their resources that could save lives and educate children become criminal? I think we’re there 😔
Even I will have one like this for my company in the future
Terrific ambience
As a Swede with Swedish work ethics I keep returning to the thoughts "Why aren't they working 8-9h continuously a day. Why are they playing around at the office". Kind of sad when I reflect on it.
Exactly ...because with all this so called "free things like gyms, lunches, dinners and etc..." you actually pay for it and the price is your own personal time - when you are young you don't care about time but as you get older you value time more and more and that's why no so many "older" ppl working for these monsters. I've been working for a similar company and I'm planning to quit cuz they expect me to be available almost 24/7 but paying only for 8 hours of work ...
Very accurate =)
no
seriously your comments are everywhere
I see a lot Macs being used @3:50. I was expecting to see lot of Chrome Books. 😁
ARE YOU EVERYWHERE?!
Really
Apple laptops in Google HQ. Good collaboration!!!
nice offices, would love to go for an in person tour ther.............
Nothing compares to Apple headquarters, which is like something from another galaxy.
Think I will be moving to all Apple after the way Google are treating me !.
One day I will work here, speaking it into existence now
Good luck buddy. You can do it!
It's funny that people really think that the workers spend a great part of their day using these distractions. They probably only do these activities once in a while. MOst of time people just work like normal people, on a normal desk with a normal computer. I work in a global company (not going to expose which) and although we also have an office structure similar to this, we barely use it unless in special ocasions. Most of the time people are worried about the sprint's tasks and deadlines, after all we all have duties.
Lol...did he say a short walk from SF bay area? more like a 45 minute drive from SF without traffic
This would sound even more impressive coming from Morgan Freeman voice.
Anyone gonna talk about the fact that they were all using Macs
I'm a Google fan ... Using a Google pixel too. And this is what I love to see❤️❤️❤️
2:17 wonder if that's Tech Lead before he left
The part they don't tell you is that getting a job at one of these companies is like winning the lottery. As such, there's is vicious competition, backstabbing, and general anxiety. All the amenities, bright colors and smiles are a thin facade for a cut throat work culture of long hours and mind numbing work, where you never know when you'll be fired or replaced
interesting i was the only one who gave a thumbs up so far.
There is always a dark secret behind these things.
2:01 everyone using macs XD
Spectacular works space.
. The variety of work settings and the overall geometry of the complex make it seem more stimulating and diverse than Apple's ring.
