Visiting the ‘Googleplex’

I was recently  invited to Google. I’m helping to coordinate a career event they are hosting this January for my Alma Mater, Bucknell University.

Like a lot of companies Google requires a non-disclosure agreement, so I can’t go into a long post about everything I saw, but I have to say it is a very unique place. You can’t help be impressed with the atmosphere.

And yes, lunch was free. I couldn’t help but wonder if it would be a good place for experiments in whether people really do it more just because it’s available. I didn’t notice too many overweight employees. Must be the volleyball court, soccer filed , endless pools or workout rooms. Or possibly the Google bikes people use to ride between buildings.

After all, the Google campus is bigger than my college campus at least when I attended school.
