¶ … Career at Google
Google is a company that has made cultural, technological, and social history. Google.com is one of the most widely accessed websites in all of the Internet. It is a company that continues to make financial gains, corporation acquisitions, and technological innovations. This is a company in which I have a great deal of interest and see myself crafting a career there in my future. I am specifically interested in Google's marketing and social media departments. Social media is now an established industry and still an emerging market, which relates to my interest in marketing. Google, like Apple, uses creative and effective strategies to market their increasing range of products to diverse markets. As I look to work in a professional, collaborative, and high-energy environment, Google is a company that is my top choice. Google stock prices are extremely competitive in the global market. Google forges business relationships with other corporations and organizations with monumental presence and credibility, such as American Online - Time Warner, NASA, Microsoft, Nokia, Fox Interactive Media, and several others. Google is able to make deals in the hundreds of millions on a regular basis. This is astounding for a company that was established in 1998.

In the information or technological age, it is common knowledge that Google is a company with great financial fortitude. Google stock prices are extremely competitive in the global market. Google forges business relationships with other corporations and organizations with monumental presence and credibility, such as American Online - Time Warner, NASA, Microsoft, Nokia, Fox Interactive Media, and several others. Google is able to make deals in the hundreds of millions on a regular basis. This is astounding for a company that was established in 1998.
Google is a company that provides a wide variety of services to its consumers, so that they will constantly turn to Google products and services for their various needs. We are all very much aware of the Google search engine, with relatively new features such as Google+. Many of us are also aware of Google E-mail (Gmail), that offers users numerous options for customizations, features such as G-chat, which can be via instant message or video, Google Docs, and the ability to unite other facets of the user's Internet experience and presence to his/her Gmail account. There is both a spectrum and condensation of the products available to consumers. Furthermore, Google recently unveiled Google Chrome, an Internet browser that provides increased relative search and loading speeds as compared to other popular browsers. Google also appeals to the intellectual or the student with an application known as Google Scholar, which essentially is the Google search bar, only the results provided are all academic. In this way, Google has put itself in a position of longevity and interdependence with the general consumer. Moreover, all these products are available to users around the world in virtually every major language and country with Internet capabilities.
My interest in Google is not only strong as a competitor in the global market and its service to the consumer, but Google is also progressive in terms of the corporate culture. Google employees work in a non-traditional environment. Offices are often colorful and incorporate intriguing design principles. Employees are also provided with free delicious and nutritious meals on a daily basis. There is more freedom in the dress code than in typical corporate cultures. Google makes an effort to hire a diverse pool of employees to bring a wider range of perspectives, experiences, and knowledge bases to the table. I will be proud and satisfied when one day, I am at my dream position at this Goliath of a company.
Google's Project Oxygen: Do Managers Matter? Today Google is irrefutably one of the most buoyant, stimulating and hence possibly most sought-after corporations in the world. The organization is rated as one of the best on account of its performance as an enormously coveted employer and all of this emanates from the carefully developed and assiduously followed 'Google culture'. In addition, the corporate culture is linked to elevating and inspiring the thinking

Careful selection of the right employees is one mechanism of external control deployed by Google. Controlling Google controls its employees not through fear, but by motivating them to do good works: "With millions of visitors every month, Google has become an essential part of everyday life - like a good friend - connecting people with the information they need to live great lives" it proclaims (Top ten, 2009, Google). Google offers
Google or Southwest Airlines Describe the company's overall people management strategy Google has been a fabulous high-energy, quick paced employment setting (About.com, 2009). Google workers (known as Googlers, within Google's jargon) work really hard, however have a great time simultaneously. The Mountain View, CA headquarter features a university campus-like atmosphere in which the benefits of creativeness as well as innovation have been extolled.

By getting these many lower-level needs out of the way Google can have its employees concentrate on the very complex and demanding problems the company is addressing in its product strategies today. Alleviating the lower-level needs of the employees so they can concentrate their efforts on the more complex and time-consuming tasks of creating innovative new products is the goal of these services. They are consistent with the Maslow hierarchy
