Wow. Google offices PWN.
Sad thing that you could never have that in the US because of concern for litigation.
Best offices in the world.
I wish my workplace was like that.
Idiot,
That is the US office.
Hey Grommit, or should I say Numbskull,
you are the idiot , this is the Zurich office (Switzerland)
OMG, I want to work there…..
WOAH..Is that all one place?? Must be Friikin massive, Some nice themes goin on there,igloos sure beat cubicles!
The ones that are “playing” guitar hero seem to be having fun rocking out to the xbox menu. They aren’t even playing the game!
omg, I want to work for google.
yes sure beautiful.
so you have to work the whole day, the whole week and the whole life without vacation just why the office is what you can desire for.
yes! beautiful place ……:(
amazing i wish i can be the part of google
It’s all a charade! look at those morons playing guitar hero. then look at the menu on the screen. i bet it’s some sort of brain washing cult!
I have a neighbor that is a chef for google in atlanta georgia. Nice fellow, but, everything on these pictures looks a bit contrived. I was born and lived on the west coast for 30 years and in hindsite, all the electronics seems to isolate one rather than really connect us to others. I worked in silicon valley for a few years and was turned off by the materialism that consumed the “best and the brightest” of our culture.
Read the japanese classic novel “Mushashi”. (if you still remember how to read instead of TV or computer games) It may help you understand a bit of what is happening to us north americans.

Props to google, very nice people, who like good coffee
@ nic…
That’s right they LOOK like they are rocking out to the menu. But do you think that it’s remotely possible that someone came in to take a picture and said, “Hey guys! Ham it up for the photo!” So they strike a pose, regardless of what’s on the screen.
But if it is a cult, maybe you should join them. Maybe they have a fun, Google-ized suicide pact.
photoshopped
that is the sweetest office i’ve ever seen!
Some of you people are so jealous! Seriously Contrived? Photoshopped? Conspiracy theory’s? You people need to get a life. Also… Google does this to there offices just like other company’s such as E entertainment and G4 B/c it inspires Creativity, NOT only just team work.
plus is it not possible to be in a room full of friends and laugh while someone snaps a photo at the job you love???? Does it really have to be on the game, i’d be laughing my ass off regardless if i was just on the menue.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that!
Ok, whether or not things are “posed” there are a lot of companies that design their offices like this, especially computer and gaming companies. EA has a full Starbucks just for their employees as well as so many other things and my the small game company my boyfriend works for isn’t quite this elaborate, but it’s not far from it. Their breakroom is tiled in Space Invaders with old school arcade games, and a pool table. It makes people want to go to work instead of begruding it.
It’s a shame our society has become so cynical. We have to bash people having fun?
Cz
Pixar Studios does this too, I plan on getting an internship at Pixar soon ^.^
Though I have not visited this office, it IS that nice in some of the offices and the people are great. It is possible to have fun, work AND enjoy your surroundings.
WOW. Google seriously knows how to appeal to Gen Y (and others). They know how to meet the needs (and unknown needs) of people AND to make dreams come true. I wonder if it’s really as great as it seems in terms of leadership/management/teamwork, etc.
WOW THEY’RE TOTALLY OWNING THE MENU SCREEN ON GUITAR HERO!
Is there a reason that I see random pornographic images in the middle of these pictures? Is it just my computer being sick?
Sick, dawg.
@Nivek ka,
Actually, that IS in the Unite States. It’s in Seattle W.A. Assuming you’re correct about U.S. laws, have faith that w/enough money, big corporations can do what ever they want in the states. Aside from that, what “litigation” could you possibly be suggesting? Who would sue them? I certainly doubt it’d be there workers. To be honest, what you’ve said is just about the stupidest thing I’ve heard. If you’ve never been to the states, don’t talk about what you don’t know. If you have (and unfortunately, it’s possible you’re actually from the states)then I assume you’re just one of the many followers of the “let’s bash the states” group. I don’t know why this is such a popular stance to follow, but it’s undeniably idiotic, w/out reason. Next time think, before you type.
Thank you, come again! 
Oh, and by the way…yes, Google is brilliant. They’re not buying into “consumerism”, they’re simply attempting to give there employees all they may ever want, make them feel like the most important people on the planet. They also want to stimulate the mind, as Crix pointed out. Google realizes that the employees of there company are worth every penny, if they’re able to create what they have. Let’s be honest folks, Google is changing the world, the pictures you see here are simply an ingenious addition to there attempts. Have faith that the moves they make will be repeated in the future, by other companies, in attempts to re-create the same amazing results.
I WANT TO WORK FOR GOOGLE!!!
If they have a boxing ring and a hospital in the building, I’d apply for google too!
Holy crap! I wanna work for Google? How do I apply?!?!?!?!
google looks like it rocks, especially that picture of their employees enjoying a rousing game of the xbox 360 dashboard using their guitar hero controllers.
looks like a great place to work.
Hi…Kool Pic
enjoy of life,…
Well that was depressing.
Those bastards.
They do have great offices but I read in an article that they have one of the highest rates of people quitting their jobs because they don’t like to work there.
It was something about no structure or to little working environment, but it is sweet though,
Google hires the best and justly rewards them. While I envy their intelligence a bit and perhaps their opportunities for education, I don’t begrudge them their success.
I, too, sometimes find myself rocking out to the Xbox Dashboard.
[...] who wouldn’t want to work at Google Zurich? [...]
Now I understand why their stocks are going for $379.32 a share, as of today 10-19-08.
I feel like I’m watching a Michel Ghondry film…
looks like a great place to work or have fun.
I wonder how I could get a job there?
