Working at Google - the untold story!

September 28, 2007 in Funny Bone by Rebecca | No comments

As some of you know I’m looking for gainful employment. So, why not Google? They have scads of money and wicked smart people. Then I ran into this comparison of working at Google vs MeetUp. As one of my friends reminds me on occasion….”Becki, I really think that things really happen when people are with people”. I believe this comparison further strengthens her conviction! You can jump to the comparison by visiting Scott Heiferman’s (the CEO of MeetUp) blog at this link HERE.

Some tidbits though to wet your appetite..but you have to see the photos to really “get” these:

Working at Google Working at MeetUp
At Google, you take the Google Bus with people as smart as you. Your fellow Googlers will probably be listening to Tech Talk Podcasts while coding. At Meetup, you take the NYC subway to work. You’re part of the greatest melting pot on Earth. WARNING: Some of your fellow riders aren’t naturally excited about Google Apps.
At Google, you eat exquisite free Google Food with other Googlers at the Googleplex, prepared by Chef Googlers. It’s the best company food around. At Meetup, you eat at one of NYC’s 18,696 restaurants. They’re not free, but some are cheap. It’s the best cafeteria in the world.
At Google, after you consume all the Google Food you can eat, you will enjoy Rear Cleansing, Front Cleansing, Dryer, and Oscillating options. At Meetup, there are no options when flushing the toilet.

You have to see the site to really appreciate the text, so go get an iced latte and have a look at the comparison of working at Google vs MeetUp at this link HERE.
