Model Answer 1:
Formed by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Google is the largest search engine in 
the world and a technological company known as Google Inc. It is 
headquartered in California in the USA. I know about the office, most 
importantly its working system, which is different from the other working 
environments.

The office is located at the Googleplex in Mountain View Santa Clara County in 
California and the entire complex is the combination of around two million 
square feet and this is the second largest office space and the headquarter has 
been shifted here since 2004. The company specialises in different 
technological sectors and provides internet services to the global users of the 
internet. It mostly provides search results to the people who use the server to 
search specific things or information. The service it provides is absolutely free 
of cost to the users. The office is highly decorated with modern amenities for 
the staffs and the working areas are designed with care and the comfort of the 
employees has been prioritised during the design. The Google staffs work in a 
specific part of the entire building while the sitting arrangements and desks are 
set in a smart manner while there are some other special features like glass 
windows and personal chambers etc. for the employees. 
The working space for the employees is large and spacious. The employees 
come here and work devotedly with comfort. The authority has sharp eyes on 
the issue of comforts of its employees as it believes that if the employees are 
comfortable with the office, the production level will increase simultaneously. 
So, the office equipment and tools are user-friendly and the option of 
relaxation is found in plenty inside the office. The employees do not need to 
work at a preset time, rather they could work after their convenience. This is 
the unique facility that is not found in anywhere else. Besides, the relation 
among the employees and the authority is warm and even the Google 
authority takes care of the family members of its employees in absence of 
them. So, the employees do not need to worry about the family members and 
thus they can concentrate on their works. Besides, the recreational facilities for 
the Google staffs are also adorable. They can start playing pools or take part in 
any other recreational activities as and when they need that. The authority 
does not impose any restriction on such activities and monitoring is not done 
here. Nonetheless, the production level is not reducing rather it is moving fast 
in terms of financial advancement and recognition.
Usually, Google hires the best people to its office after a set of selection 
processes. Usually, the candidates have to achieve certain qualities up to the 
mark and have also to prove the skills. Besides, the hiring process is done 
quickly and the process is advertised on the career page of its website. 
Sometimes it hires the exceptional candidates while sometimes it takes people 
who are academically dull. Google actually judges the real life skills of the 
employees and how they will respond to different situations. But the first thing 

---

 
is about the IQ. The IQ of the candidate should not be less than 130. This is 
really an important matter for applying at Google. Moreover, people with 
exceptional leadership abilities are welcomed at the organisation. Google 
adores such qualities and helps to nurture them. Besides, people who own a 
good record of activities can also work for Google. It prefers employees who 
have a proven record of doing things smoothly within the shortest possible 
time using fewer resources. Google also considers the human qualities of the 
candidates for its jobs. The people who are humble and benevolent in nature 
are the luckiest ones to work for Google. As there is a number of people from 
different nations are working there, the potential candidate needs to have the 
provision of adjustment with the working culture at the office. So, the humane 
qualities are a must for a Google employee. However, you are to be careful to 
your respective responsibilities as well and this is an accepted rule among the 
employees.
This is the perfect place for working. If you are self confident and can believe 
to do the things you are assigned within the budgeted time, you are on board 
with Google. This is the place where you can exercise your leisure activities 
without hiding it from your boss or superior officer. Rather you will be 
encouraged to perform to achieve excellence and might be awarded in some 
cases for outstanding performance. But you will be responsible to complete 
your duties or assigned tasks by the time you are spending in office. Besides, 
the contributory services that Google provides to its employees are lucrative. 
The benefits are not available in the other working places. Considering all the 
aspects, it appears that Google is a very good place to work for.
