Great google! i hope i can make it you have a great organisation.
I know for sure that google is one of the best place to work in the world. The Googleplex HQ in Califonia, everyone eats in a cafe also known as “Charlie’s Place”, and this creates a spirit teamwork and oneness. Their management style is hands-on and top-down, in my own opinion, one of the best in the world. Everyone should aspire to work at GOOGLE!
