Google hires batallions of the Severely Gifted. Google works. Google coexits, and those who follow in its wake earn money.
|
to add to that:
google receives about 1400 job applications a month
95% of programmers dream about working for google
google people work in their own offices, not cubicles
there are playgrounds for sport activities after lunch, they have basketball courts, tennis, and even street hockey courts
one day a week you have a day for your own pet projects
Google didnt steal any of their ideas from other companies, unlike MS which stole about 99% of their product ideas from smaller companies
google does not overrun small businesses on the basis of the fact that they can
they have so far not run down any of their competition
they write excellent code
they have built not only their own filesystem which is 100's of miles ahead of its time in speed of searching through it as it is implemented through their server network
google has very advanced network infrastructure for their search network
google is virtually impossible to bring down, even if you had a bot network that counts tens of millions of PCs
Google writes secure code
Google provides understandable and usable API's for their products written in a multitude of languages
Google strides to be compattible with other things and products
Google owners are not rich idiots, they are themselves programmers, that donate to charrities and drive toyota priuses (just thought i'd point it out) they are not after creating a monopoly and are always on the cutting edge of techniligy with their product (like video search)
