Our tour guides today at Google spoke about how Google is definitely an American company because even here in Dublin, the date and time are generally accommodating to the American branches of the company. They also told us about “googliness” which is a quality they seek in possible candidates. Candidates with “googliness” have a drive to succeed and a passion for Google, or at least that was my interpretation of it! This may not seem relevant in determining if I will think of them in five years, but in my opinion this shows how their corporate culture is strong and they know what they want in job candidates which in turn makes them a stronger company. Google is one that will certainly be around for the long run and one that I will think of for many years to come!
