More About Google


Google is a play on the word googol which is

the mathematical term for 1 followed by 100 zeros and reflects the company's mission to organize the immense, seemingly infinite amount of information available on the web.

A Unique Company
Google founders
Larry Page
Number of employees: Worldwide, Google employed 10,000 full-time employees as of now Work Environment: Informal: Lava lamps, door on sawhorses as desks, exercise balls for chairs, and dogs roaming the halls Google: The interface is clear and simple. Pages load instantly. Placement in search results is never sold to anyone. Advertising on the site must offer relevant content and not be a distraction. No pop-up ads allowed.
