What seems like the ultimate dream in the world of Google, Facebook and Social Media is to work in one of these awesome companies, that nurture the body and soul while working towards an ultimate goal of world domination. Being such a big fan of Google I am more than inclined to try to find out what to would be like to actually work in there. Google has made it easier not requiring to “Google It” to find the behind the scenes versions of working at Google. YouTube is filled with videos of Google generally. Not only will I share the videos of working at Google, but I also want to share some of the interesting unique things of Google. So well, here goes, if you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to be a Googler, these cool clips should give you a little bit of insight…

Google is a Geek

Not only is there awesome geek fun working at the Google campuses worldwide, the company Google also has a very big Geek heart. From binary, Lego toys, Maths geek pointers to having their own Dinosaur Google is a big Geek.

Google’s First Ever Tweet


Google’s first ever Twitter post was as satisfyingly geeky as you could hope for. The message, sent in February 2009, reads “I’m 01100110 01100101 01100101 01101100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101100 01110101 01100011 01101011 01111001 00001010.”

For anyone not fluent in binary, here’s a hint — it’s a well known phrase from the company’s homepage. Got it? Yep, it reads: “I’m feeling lucky.”

Google is Dog Friendly

Google is a super dog-friendly company. Although YouTube has made cats the most popular pets of the internet, Google still maintains that the company is more a Dog Friendly company and not really cat friendly.

According to Google’s “Dog Policy”, one indiscretion too many on the Google carpets, or aggressive behavior, means Lassie will have to stay at home in the future. Strong bladdered and friendly canines are more than welcome across the campus.

Unfortunately, cats are not quite as welcome. Here’s an excerpt taken directly from Google’s Code of Conduct: “Google’s affection for our canine friends is an integral facet of our corporate culture. We like cats, but we’re a dog company, so as a general rule we feel cats visiting our offices would be fairly stressed out.”

Google’s Own Dinosaur

By all accounts, there are many wondrous sights to be seen at the Googleplex, but one of the most arresting is surely the gigantic T-Rex skeleton — nicknamed “Stan” after a “real” dino found nearby — that looms menacingly at Googlers in Mountain View.

One thing seems for sure — just like the company itself — life at the Googleplex must be far from dull.
