Life at Google Inc.

Googlers tell us in our annual employee survey, Googlegeist, that their peers are one of the best parts of working at Google.

1 / 7

All Googlers get confidential access to Google products that aren’t released publicly yet; this means Googlers “dogfood” phones, apps, and more. This helps the Googlers behind those yet-to-be-released products get valuable feedback to make our devices even better.

2 / 7

Googlers collaborate on a life-size Lite Brite -- showing no problem is too big for them to solve.

3 / 7

More than 6,000 Googlers taught more than 3,000 classes to other Googlers this year. These free educational classes cover just about every topic, from Python coding to emotional intelligence to retirement strategies.

4 / 7

What started as a 20% project for Googlers is now a full-fledged effort to bring virtual reality to the masses through our Cardboard viewer.

5 / 7

Nooglers (“new” Googlers) are connected right away with Noogler Gurus, Googlers from across the company who provide one-on-one coaching to Nooglers to support them their transition into Google.

6 / 7

At Google, we found that how a team works matters way more than who’s on the team. And we have the research to prove it; more than 9,000 Googlers have learned more about why psychological safety leads to a more effective team.
