Computer Science At Stanford University

• Google has a world-class staff of more than 2,668 employees known as Googlers. The company headquarters is called the Googleplex.

Also the employees at Google have the added benefits of being able to bring pets to work, onsite childcare, and of course the best one chow down on some free food. Additionally, Google creates an environment where its employees are encouraged to bring about any ideas they may have, and having an environment where people can express their ideas helps to foster a joint effort among employees which is extremely vital. “Google has constructed an empire where well-chosen elite accommodates flexibility, shifting roles, and urgency. Google shares whatever information it can with as many employees as possible, encouraging debate but insisting on like-minded cooperation.” (Hardy, 2005) Google has gone as far as to set a higher standard by doing away with the just offer the same old employee of the month parking space, instead they want to show how providing a better work experience results in a higher quality product or service.

Google is a multinational corporation that serves thousands of consumers worldwide. Through Internet related products such as Internet searches, maps, emails, mobile apps, and other online contents for users Google became the company it is today. Every employee of Google is different in his or her own way; making it a well-diversified organization similar to the global audience they serve. Google’s mission statement is to organize information from all around the world and make it universally accessible at a quick and orderly fashion. This means creating a search engine smart

Google tries to maintain the "start-up" culture that it developed when it originally developed. A start-up culture can be thought of as an open

The purpose of this project is to review Google and analyze it as a potential employer. Throughout the report, we will cover their financial status, the culture of the company, and the future outlook. Additionally, we will explore the benefits and incentives offered, and employment opportunities. Our main goal is to come to a general consensus of what the company stands for and if it would be considered a suitable employer.

The core of this culture lies in the Founder’s philosophy. Google is ruled by its founders. In the book ‘What would Google do?’ by Jeff Jarvis, there is wonderful line that goes like “There is an inverse relationship between control and trust.” Trust is established in the process of attracting people to the site and more people that come, the more companies flock to the internet and thus the search engine. This is called a two sided network effect. One cannot survive without the other.

In 1995, Larry Page and Sergey Brin were introduced at Stanford University as graduate students in computer science. In January of 1996, the pair began working together on writing a program for a search engine dubbed BackRub, named after its ability to do back link analysis. Next, fueled by the rave reviews that BackRub received, Larry Page and Sergey Brin began working on Google. And then in September of 1998, Google Inc. opened in Menlo Park, California and Google.com, a beta search engine, was answering 10,000 search queries every day.

Google, comes from the word "googol," a mathematical value for a number representing 100 zeros following the numeral 1. Using that term reflected the founder’s undertaking to sort out in an organized manner the virtually never ending quantity of information that was put on and searched for on the web. The two guys that came up with, Larry Page and Sergey Brin first became aquatinted at a Stanford campus orientation 1995. 22 year old Larry, a U Michigan grad, is contemplating attending Stanford and 21 year old, already student Sergey is the

Even though I believe Google’s management system to be effective and the article’s explanation of the system to be credible and valid, I do not believe it will fit the culture of my company. Working in the restaurant industry, our employees are not as technically minded as the employees of Google. From experience, direct management and more guidance are needed in a customer-service directed atmosphere. While my boss may find the surveys and employee improvement strategies to be helpful, Google’s exact system is not comparable to the restaurant industry.

(Goodman, 2009) The company primarily focuses on search; advertising; consumer content and platforms; and enterprise products. Some of the core business practices of google include getting to know their employees, creating new ways to reward and promote their high-performing employees, letting their employees own the problems they want to solve, allowing employees to function outside the company’s hierarchy, and have their employees’ performance reviewed by someone they respect for their objectivity and impartiality. (Manimala, M.J. 2013) The employees can operate and experience a free and transparent exchange of ideas in order to best meet the needs of the people in which they serve. Google technology includes the Google Chrome browser, YouTube, Google Maps, Android smartphones and smart contact lenses. The company is also developing a self-driving car.  Overall, their managers trust them to carry out these responsibilities without micromanaging them and their core value is to create technology to make life easier and better for everyone.

Google’s human relations and human resource management styles have changed the way that companies will be managed in the years to come. Google’s model of motivation and leadership tears down the traditional scientific management theory which focuses on results rather than the employees who deliver those results. The Vice President of People Development at Google stated that the company’s strives “to create the happiest, most productive workplace in the world. It’s less about the aspiration to be No.1 in the world, and more that we want our employees and future employees to love it here, because that’s what’s going to make us successful” (Smith,2014). Google shows employees they are valued and constantly motivates them in the workplace by creating a culture that fulfills their needs in all aspects. The office design, the management style, policies, and perks/benefits all put the employee first.

As one of the world best network services and network products provider, since the day established the company was on a very different road of how IT companies should be from the traditional model. It can be said that Google 's model was so success in today 's IT industry. It not only successfully solved the problem about disconnect of the research and development, also in the management cost and R&D efficiency achieves the optimal. Innovation, and business philosophy helps Google to become world famous company. In other hand Google was considered as one of world’s most secretive company as well. The business model and culture of Google was so unique which not every company can achieve that.

The strategy of focusing on getting information to millions of people internationally is the foundation of Google. Another strategy in which Google is unique is their culture. Google creates an atmosphere of creativity, teamwork and brainstorming which has helped win them a spot in the top 10 of Fortune magazine’s best companies in which to work.

According to Jordan Newman, a Google spokesman, Google’s goal is “to create the happiest, most productive workplace in the world.” In order to do so, it has created a workplace where there are massages, on-site dry cleaning, yoga classes, gourmet cafes, daycare, transportation services, car wash and oil changes, foreign language classes, and health care facilities – all for free. This doesn’t include the Lego play rooms, TGIF drinking days, secret rooms behind bookcases, and couches that consist of rowboats with cushions.

September 1998 was a significant date for Google when its co-founders Larry Page, president of products, and Sergey Brin, president of technology, brought it life. Google witnessed an extreme growth where now it employees 20,000 people worldwide. Google is famous in having a management team that represents some of
