    Re: Googles Offices

    I'd seen a similar video a while back, that made me want to work for google - but in the USA, it still looks brilliant I must admit, but apparently the Breakfast/Tea (Dinner, whatever most people call it - 3rd meal of the day!) are serverd quite early and usually after 6pm respectivley - so you can only get those if you work pretty long days.

    Quite tempted by the Microsoft Graduate Programme aswell, they have a nice campus in Reading I beleive, but like all of these places, it probably looks better in the videos.

    The Bloomberg building in London is nice too!! Free food... Different colour/theme on each floor... Fish tanks on every floor, the fish's colour matches the colour of the floor... indoor sculptures/artwork on each floor...

    Damn I wouldn't mind working there...

    And Ice cream too!

    Lots of companies do the whole 'cool' thing, the question is, will you really enjoy it, and will they pay you properly!

    Plenty of these bigs frims pay 66th percentile. That is to say they posistion themselfs slightly above average, but will often demand graduates be of the highest standard, to me that makes little sense.
