  • I would love to work at Google headquarters in Mountain View, Ca. I am a licensed Massage Therapist and am planning to move back there, from Atlanta. I am trying to reach the Massage Program Manager. Is there a Phone number or an e-mail address for Babette?

  • keep a look out for Ethan Farry im only 13 but i know that google is where i want to be working in ten years time

  • Yeah, too bad you can't fix your Google Phone. Boo.

  • just got inspired to be smart!

  • Love to work here.......=)

  • Google is the modern day Christopher Columbus and beyond,

  • Personally I think Google is shit. They've canned a lot of the good projects that their employees come up with (Wave, Notebook, Code search etc) . Most of their brightest employees end up leaving. They personalize your information to such a degree that they only show you what you want to see. If you've been following the news stories closely you will know that Google stole code more than once. The funny thing is, those news stories aren't searchable by the Google search engine :)

  • @xRen0x You are just a hater. Where would you be without Google? You have no idea of the great things they do, or even why they do can the projects they do.

  • I am also in the interview process. I've had two phone interviews and have an onsite interview scheduled for tomorrow. The thing that I like best is that the people at Google seem to value innovation and that is something that I am good at. I have been frustrated at other jobs where they didn't want to listen to anything new. I also am an inventor and it looks like this would help me fit in rather well. I also recently took the MENSA admission test and passed it. Well wish me luck tomorrow.John

  • i also want to job in Google..

  • the girl that speaks around the :30 second mark is she south african by any chance?

  • and sorting algorithms

  • let me guess....you gotta implement those blasted search algorithms on the spot.

  • I am doing a project on Google offices and I was wondering if I could use this video on my website. I will sit this as well.

  • What kind of "problems" are they asking you to solve during interviews?

  • @stayalive1017 What I know is not in doubt. I've got to change the "Who I am" into being more of an inventor than just an expert. I wonder if Google has any computer forensics positions? I can just imagine making my movie of how I'd creatively acquire E-Mail headers. (Perhaps in Google font and colors)

  • Great info. Thanks! 

  • Tragically realizing that I'm not good enough for Google. Whether I were to ever land there, I'll probably spend the rest of my career figuring out how to remedy that fact. In a way I suppose my life will be graded on how creatively I tackle that problem.

  • @phydroxide you gotta be kidding me!! The fact that you know that you're not good enough for Google is a good start. Just study a little bit more and strengthen the topics where you're weak and then apply for the job. Remember: the sky is the limit... Good luck!

  • not important it the answer is true or false, just process

    im hired then ;)

  • i love to watch this video, such a strong company

  • "strong educational background" i mean......wat a f...k!!!! are you tying to say the rest are useless???

  • @rsaramba No, not at all. I thought the same thing. I am currently in process for my offer. I passed all my interviews and the hiring committee recommended me for acceptance. I have no college background, just military. I have trouble believing that I made it this far, but it's all about how you interact with them. I recommend applying for a position you think you fit, who knows what will happen. It took a year for them to find me. I wish you the best of luck

  • I wish I could work for this company.

  • I hope i will worked with this giant one day...

  • anyone knows how much google pays for internships in europe? thanks

  • do you guys hire fools...?

  • I want to pursue a career in Software Engineering (SE) but I've been really skeptical lately as I started researching the statistics on such jobs being outsourced over seas. I believe SE would be a good fit for me but I'm somewhat discouraged now from the fear that the field could become obsolete in the US leaving me possibly jobless. I know it sounds somewhat unrealistic for the near future but with the state of the economy and growth of technology its not implausible. Anyone have any input??

  • @AngelOfAmbitions I take it taht u just finished ur 12th class/school, so have I. Its not like the field will get obsolete, in fact to talk about google, m damn confident if u get into some company like google or infosys, u live a life king size.

    Dont worry, its normal, but thinks are much lighter than u imagine them t be. Hope it encourages u. Gud luk bro...

  • @AngelOfAmbitions You don't live in US my good sir, you live on earth !

    If you don't find a job in US, you can find one in Sweden or here in Tunisia :)

  • Hello everyone, I have received a lot of requests on what happened with the job and if I got it. I did not get the job on the basis that my current experience was a higher than what was required for the job so I wasnt a prime fit. None-the-less, it was an awesome experience and I would do it again. The people there are awesome and it was very cool to see the inner workings there. Good luck to all other who apply!

  • @kdberry87 Don't mean to offend but that sounds like a bs reason. I wouldn't be satisfied if they gave me a reason like that. What job did you apply for?

    Plus they look at your resume (work experience) before even making the first phone call.

    Anyways, it sucks that you came so close but weren't given the job. Good luck on your next job application.

  • @kdberry87 So this means you are overqualified to the position you applied for, right?

  • what happens after though? when they ask for references... is that like a clue that im close?

  • whoops! i thought this was the interview for the FBI.

  • Oh god Google spamming on their own videos?

    Whats next?

  • All interviews were very friendly, and they really picked up my brain. Questions were position driven, and after 9 interviews - 2 by phone and 7 on site - I'll begin at Brazil's office tomorrow. Yeah!! Success to you all!!

  • Is it a requirement to have a strange accent? :P

  • google needs a college 

  • Had an interview today! It really was not as bad as the media hypes it up to be. I had a blast and the people are very friendly, passionate and personable. If I don't get the job, I at least had a fun interview. :) Wish me luck!

  • @aavery7 I agree, person I had my interview with was also incredibly friendly and basically made me get the answers to the questions I was even unsure of :)

    Good luck!

  • Just had my interview, too bad as I would compare it to "difficult university exam" :(

    So my advice for everybody else would be to get really prepared instead of anticipating it to be chatty!

  • Have an interview Thursday! So excited!

  • i dont think they show candidates the data centers, lol

  • I wanna work with Google too T_T

  • you get to wear a hat as a nooglers =]

  • i just went from 6 to midnight

  • You just google your problems, plain simple :D

  • i'd pay to work for google.

  • i wanna work at google :3

  • Heard back last night and I made it through Interview #2!!! Looks like I am heading to Mountain View, CA for my final interview :) Very exciting!

  • @kdberry87

    Good luck with that. Hope you get your job. What are you applying for anyway? and lol it sounds like Google offers all kinds of jobs from software/hardware engineers to psychologists. I think i just got my career planned out.

  • @robobrain10000 Not at liberty to say at this point in the interview process but its a computer related job (yes I know as broad as I could possibly be lol). Google never ceases to amaze me the multitudes of jobs they have. Their data centers are quite the spectacle to see as well. No matter if I am accepted to move forward with this Google position or not, the experience is great and very interesting to see Google from a professional light. Good luck to all other applicants!

  • @kdberry87 Did you make it?

  • @kdberry87 updates? I will b really excited to find out if you got it?

  • @kdberry87 So did you get the job? Also how old are you and what qualifications do you have?

  • @kdberry87 Congrats! Did you get the job ?

  • Interview #2 down and waiting for a response. It was actually fun. It was fast paced but very relaxed. Very happy with how it went and regardless on how it ends up, it was a very fun experience to have. Good luck to all other applicants!

  • w00t made it past my first interview! I honestly think that the video was an accurate portrayal of how my first interview went. I will be honest and there were many times that I had to say, "Sorry don't know that one off the top of my head" but its like they said, its all about the process you take to get to your answers. I was asked for interview #2 the other day so wish me luck and good luck to everyone else who applies as well!

  • @kdberry87 good luck!

  • @kdberry87 Did they let you google the stuff you didn't know? :D

  • @OscarAlexanderBiggle Sorry, they made me use Ask.com and Bing for all of those answers :P

  • @kdberry87

    So how did you go? :)

  • @Malibluu Made it out to CA for final interview set. Interviews went very well but in the end, the position was not an exact fit for my skill set at this time. It was a great experience and honestly I dont think you will ever have any more challenging set of interviews.  I would do it over again anyday :) Good luck to all other Google applicants!

  • @kdberry87 you got selected?

  • keep pressing 7, Its a blowjob simulation

  • HI!

    DO YOU HAVE PEOPLE WORKING FOR YOU IN URUGUAY SOUTH AMERICA, IN SPANISH, WORKING IN TRANSLATIONS OR PRESENTING IDEAS?

    ARE YOU INTERESTED IN LATIN AMERICA PEOPLE WORKING FOR YOU?

    CHEERS

  • They appear to use ThinkPads almost exclusively.

  • I want work 4 google ^_^ !

  • Sounds Awful... I wonder if they ever achieve anything practical that the rest of us 'normal' and less wacky zingy people can actually USE.

    Have they changed their RED BRICK UNIVERSITY policy that they used to have. Not about brains its about CONTACTS

    3,000,000,000 IQ points and what a drag that you have to do J2EE programming to let someone click to call?

  • I've replayed this video so many times to convince myself i will not be eaten alive tomorrow during my interview :S

    It's the first job interview of my life and it's a phone interview with Google :s Talk about stress!

  • @sarcasticmania How did it go?

  • @dag101101

    I got rejected :\

    oh and PS! They are not as happy as they promote :P It was a regular interview.

    Still, it's one of my dream jobs (:

    thanks for asking!

  • @sarcasticmania Aw that stinks!

    I'd be curious to know...

    What kind of questions did they ask? What kind of strong points did they look for in you?

  • someone who gets a hard on by new tehnologies Bassically

  • This video is not a bad intro. Looks like a bunch of decent nerds (not meant in any derogatory fashion). I particularly dug the brief flash of "Find the Fish" in post-it notes on the wall. Just hope my java knowledge is up to par. Got a whole bunch of language breadth, but i jump around quite a bit and depth for me needs to be cultured like a fine bacteria on a petri dish.

  • i was in Dublin (EU HQ) 3 years ago for an interview .They did'nt take me on at the end but i will never forget the interviewer with stinky che guevara T-shirt :) I shamed a bit because i bought a brand new suit for the interview.. I think i got a better job now :)

  • 0:35 Google uses Dell. Suck on that Apple

  • I think I'd poop my pants if they asked me the questions...

  • The campus is just simply amazing. I only work in catering and am still thoroughly impressed with my experience there.

  • Total of 6 hours in interviewing. I bet the foosball and pool tables were just gimmicks to get people to apply at google. Also, whoever disliked this informational video were just people who got denied the job....LOL

    thumbs up!

  • damn! do u have one seat free for me? :P

  • AVNAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  • I know I am the right person for Google, all it's left to do is to apply ;)

  • 21 seconds is sexy

  • 0:06 PORTUGAL

  • Google executives truly are amazing. Their low-level employees are all filled with illusions of grandeur. Just look at how proudly some of the proclaim "I'm a Software Engineer". A Software Engineer is basically someone who gets paid peanuts to rearrange the same few keywords and operators into different patterns. Forgive me if I'm wrong but haven't they proved monkeys are capable of that?

  • @Jester995 wrong lol. I am a software engineer and it is very difficult. what you are thinking of is programming. you can teach a monkey to just program, its the implementation and efficiency that a program uses that the software engineers have to optimize.

  • @crazyidiot101 that idiot jester thinks the number one search engine was created by a bunch of monkeys who stare at a punctuation all day

  • @crazyidiot101 No buddy, you're wrong. I am a former Software Engineer so I know what it entails. Maybe I over simplified the role but it's still monkey work. You go to work every day and you stare into your monitor for 10 hours a day - for what? A piss-ant pay check and bragging rights? It may be seen as very skilled work but if you're still working for the man, you're still about as entrepreneurial as a toilet cleaner. You're not exactly flying around in a private jet are you?

  • @Jester995 hehe. Well said.

    At the same time, if you are living your authentic life, you're happy, dig yourself. If not, pull the fucking ripcord 'cuz you're going to die (eventually) and there's no do overs (that we know of).

  • @crazyidiot101 I think Jester995 is jealous ^^

  • Comment removed

  • these guys were using windows xp....

    now understood how these guys get time for playing around....

    they actually leave their PCs for formatting and reinstalling windows....

    linux rocks.....

  • HI  my futur colleagues

  • google=playground for nerds

  • @ANDREYgrava21 dude, without those "nerds" you're speaking of, you won't even have google search today, so yeah...

  • We like brainwashed obeying flesh, who do what they are told and do not have humanity in them because we are google, and we are planning to kill free speech and the internet.

  • Just found this while preparing for my second Google phone interview... It makes me even more excited about it!

  • I had a phone interview today, it was EXTREMELY adversarial. I felt like I was being attacked. Not very pleasant at all.  Don't bother applying unless you are prepared to be put through the wringer.

  • Wow, this video is quite interesting. I think that their recruiting process assures that only the best people are working for them. That's what makes them different from the others. And that's why I really love my Google Nexus One, and its Android 2.2 :-)

  • Damn I'd love to work for Google. I'm making this my life goal starting with now <.<

  • >She07 asked "what degree shall I pursue to work with GooGLe?!?!"

    Many different degrees can be useful for several of the many different job openings at Google (see jobs.google.com)

    If you want to be a Google Software Engineer your best bet would be a degree in Computer Science. (For great unofficial tips on interviewing for a Google Software Engineering job, see steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/­03/get-that-job-at-google.html­).

  • i applied in google australia... didnt get any replies..hahahaha..poor me..

  • What about

    1. Compensation - stock option is not attractive anymore

    2. Opportunity for career growth - google is a flat organization and mid management get hired from out-side

    3. Work-life-balance - 40hr week is not normal

    4. Long-term - Good engineers seem to be leaving for facebook, twitter and other promising start-ups if they have not retired yet.

  • @thyagarajesh 40 hr week is nothing. i work 11 hours a day, 6 days a week, fuck i'd be glad to work at google. i'll be the janitor fuck it.

  • @lucirz hahahahaha thats hilarious, I'm with you! :D

  • @thyagarajesh How is a 40hr work-week not normal? O.O That's 8 hours per day, so it's (for example) an 8:00 - 17:00 job. This really isn't unusual >.>

  • @Elrynn in the US its a 8 to 4 or 9 to 5 job. Even though i think your counting a 9 hour job... am i right? im guessing your counting for a 1 hour unpaid lunch break?

  • @drivebybruising yes, but however way you turn it, my point still stands: A 40-hour workweek is not unusual. ;)

  • @Elrynn yep i guess lol

  • @thyagarajesh hey, 40h per week is a normal week in Germany. Where o you work? I alaska??? On the moon??

  • what degree shall I pursue to work with GooGLe?!?!

  • @She07 PhD in Computer Science. Period.

  • Googles No.1 follower youtube com/chinasnaketv

  • Muppets.

  • i love google! i'm going to apply and you will love me...i will see you soon GOOGLE!

  • Once I finish my masters degree in higher education, I will be applying for a position. The goal would be to help develop and enhance Google Apps, particularly as they apply to colleges and universities. I believe that they can be taken to a whole new level of user-experience--one that enhances AND facilitates learning.

  • I have an interview at Google tomorrow, and are getting excited with every minute going by :D

  • I Love Google , Google Is My Passion ... I want to Work For Google , I wana be A Googler ....

  • fuck working at google!

  • i love google :)

  • Interesting, person at 0:43 using Outlook 2007...hope it's connected to gmail account.

  • 0:28 give me it XD

  • hey google i have a question

    can you please remove that tab off our friends list

    ( the remove button )

  • portuguese flag! portugal allez! 0:06

  • google is the shiznicks.

  • Braviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiii

  • sergey

  • google's great I'm guessing! wonderful work environment with plenty of cool and competent people.

    but you can't escape dumb pricks at the workplace, even at google.

  • I get the impression Google doesn't employ dumb people. If they did, would Google be Google today?

    Hmm, maybe. Maybe every business needs a few dumb sheep who'll follow each other and just do what they're told. But I like to think that's not the case. I hope not.

  • "sheep who'll follow each other and just do what they're told" are not the dumb people I referenced -anything but that!

    I would hire them in a heartbeat, since they are least likely to cause trouble in the workplace or lower corporate and workplace morale.

    Consistent, predictable mediocrity is any day preferable to unstable, erratic brilliance, especially after corporate critical mass is reached, as I should suspect it has with google.

  • "unstable, erratic brilliance" is exactly what Google is going for. The evidence is in their work. =/

  • OMG! A Portuguese flag :D

    I'm so so so so signing up for a Internship after getting into my 1st grade of university!

  • eh pa!!!!

  • this makes me want to work at google!

  • i wouldn't get through, not a damn chance lol sad but true :)

  • thanks.

  • What I wouldn't do to work for Google. I am only 16 but my life will do anything to work for Google or one of Google's owned sites. If I couldn't work for Google, I would love to either work for Youtube or maybe just Microsoft. What I do now is I am a website designer. I have created multiple websites but small businesses.

    I would LOVE to learn how the whole Microsoft systems and the whole company works. for some reason that excites me. PLEASE MSG ME if you know how to become apart of Google

  • i want to

  • shit...........i'll be a janitor

  • @awwwwnaaaa HAHA YES!

  • @awwwwnaaaa like in "good will hunting"?

  • @awwwwnaaaa janitor for google?

  • @awwwwnaaaa lol

  • @awwwwnaaaa hahaha! Genius comment! :D

  • @awwwwnaaaa i was just about to write this and then i scrolled down...

    +1

  • @awwwwnaaaa do you know how many ways to clean a meeting room? haha

  • @awwwwnaaaa Gotta start somewhere ;)

  • I would love to interview at Google, just to go through the process. I've always done will with interviews and problem solving. The only thing I lack with their requirements is a college degree. Then again, some of the worlds most intelligent people found their fountain of knowledge and passion in the field.

    I hope Google is able to continue in the right direction.

  • good job

  • you get paid to be creative, im about to apply..in that looks like a great pleace where my creative juices can flow!!..SO KOOL! :)..i dont care how long it take I just want to be interviewed..Google here I come..I can be a coat hanger all I care just let be apart to the team!..haha :)

  • Im 16 years old, still in secondary school and I feel that this, right here is the ONLY place I would love to work at in Ireland. The fact that its so multi-cultural is great, you meet new people, and the most important factor is that you can actually enjoy yourself. The creativity involved is just insane, i love it!!! :D

    Could somebody plz suggest to me a college course to aim for if I want to find a job at Google? That would be awesome ;) Thanks! =)

  • Major in Computer Science at a University.

  • How can you say they're fakes and fags!

    they're brilliant and inventive and

    frankly

    i think you're a bitter old fart yourself.

    AND you use google every day!

  • do they put the Google Cook through the same interview process?

  • doesnt matter what their recruiting process is

    u go in there and u have 45 min...thats where u prove urself...degree n shit matters but the most important thing is that u have to show them why they should pick you out of the 10000 applicants..

  • So you get paid to be creative? AWESOME!

  • I'd have to agree that the recruiters at Google have a fairly elitist attitude. They care more about the university you attended than your performance. They generally focus on recruiting people from ivy-league schools or the UC system here in California. It's pretty sad to see such a close-minded and narrowed vision hiring process from a company who considers themselves to be revolutionary and open.

  • Yeah. its wrong. sad thing is its like that everywhere nowadays mate

  • 1:03 he winked at me! i must be getting the job!

  • haha, nice one XD

  • They are snobs at Google. Unless you have a fancy university on your resume they don't want you and if you're self taught with no degree you can forget it. I had all the qualifications for a job posting, plus knew someone there and I got a canned letter stating I wasn't qualified. It was insulting.

  • @wanders90 Google recruiting people are top notch. After reading your comment Google is maybe right for not hiring you. Try applying at Microsoft.

  • @wanders90 "plus knew someone there" how did it even come into consideration!?!

    This is not a street shop :P

  • well .. i do love ... actually i do that more than 9 hours a day...
