Not only is Google the biggest Internet search engine, it also has one of the biggest, most interesting, workplace ever. Located in Mountain View California, it holds 8,000 or so employees. Because of this, it faces a lot of everyday challenges such as serving food for everyone: because Google has engaged itself to give free food to a minimum of three times a day. This commitment is the reason behind the urban legend of the Google 15. The Google 15 is the 15 pounds every new employee gets at the beginning of their hiring. Having one of the leaders in architecture, Clive Wilkinson Architects, gave them the opportunity to have a creative working environment. This company is responsible for giving a fresh and different look to the Googleplex. When we enter the Googleplex, you know it’s not like any other workplace you’ve been. The cozy atmosphere, the bicycles all around you, everything is different. Each and every single employee can use of his creativity to do his job. They are also allowed to bring pets at work, but mainly dogs. Furthermore, breakfast, lunch and dinner are all free of charge. The main cafeteria, The Charlie’s Place, was named after the creator of Google, Charlie Ayers. The different cafeterias around the campus, offers a lot of variety. Food such as sushi, organic food, meals from around the world can be found pretty much everywhere on the campus. If you feel hungry during the afternoon it’s easy to get something to eat. According to a blogger, Vasanth Sridharan, Google would approximately spend $72 of food, for each employees.
