Google employees can move up in High-Tech Cars


Mountain View, California - all the free food and other goodies that come with working for Google, there is an advantage, knowing that many people do not, cluster workshops paradise, high-tech. welding workers escape from their computer screens, office chairs, equipment for drilling and cutting guys can not find in Home Depot. Moreover, the use of earth moving equipment to remove the business operations used by Google for fun and rich decorations, holiday, residential building closets and some big dreams, such as engineers, pedal airplane with a wingspan of 100 feet.

Die Google labs, are handmade by Larry Page, co-founder Sergey Brin, Google in a garage for rent. Page authorized points, opened in 2007 to try to combine business with its roots. Google was a seminar held in secret until Tuesday, an exclusive tour was recovered shortly after his job as general manager of the primary side, April 4 The idea behind the workshop, such as the web giant's attempt to work with enthusiasm and creativity, research related to the garage. Party considers that a company needs 13 years of thought and decisive action to take profits, because the competition of young stars on the Internet, like Facebook, Twitter and Groupon array.

, Sits on Google, which all good things begin in the garage, said Greg Butterfield, Engineering Lab Manager, under the supervision of the workshop. Larry wanted the same kind of environment that he and Sergey had begun when Google -. art playground sand or to carry out their original ideas Pi, the shop is known geek weekend open only to a privileged few to 26 300 Google employees. To order, employees must pass the test questions, so if you've seen what the speed used for cutting aluminum, there are four separate rooms - metal, wood, welding, and electronics - in a remote region? Siege of 4300000 square meters of Google in Mountain View in hiding.

In addition to heavy vehicles such as oscilloscopes, plasma cutting saws and miter are also games for children. construction equipment stores in Lego bricks - the same material used for the construction of a printed page, the year before the rise of Google. The projects resulting from the workshop is a great tricycle in the world designed to around 250 kilos of high-tech photographic equipment dragged. Commuters are used for companies in the pictures online mapping service roads and other hard to reach areas for delivery vehicles. Engineers needed for operations on the first prototypes of smart phones running the Android software from Google and other products still in the development of society to discuss, work rejected.

Part of the house, the majority of Google employees, but the commercial use for personal purposes. The ideas I have for the workshop are so unpredictable that employees are encouraged to demolition or other unwanted things, in case someone is unable to provide adaptation projects. During a recent visit to the PA in the trunk and rusty old truck was the axis of welding.

You never know what you find in the database, says Butterfield.

The workshop is free for all Google employees, like almost all companies in related services. But workshops are much more exclusive the power of Google to others.

All employees must be certified to operate the machines before they are issued badges to enter. The test is generally Rodney Broome, 63, a veteran engineer, teaches business at the end of the San Jose City College, where Google is the master of the laboratory. ,

I feel like his own company in a company here, said Broome.

Like you, when you try to Google employees will seek to test. About 300 employees certified by Google. Most of them are engineers, but some buttons, which led to work with the sales of advertising. Broome said that no casualties in the workshop.

Welding Engineer control standards are so stringent that it was not enough, a mechanical engineer, software engineering at Google Ihab Awad. He attended high school wood shop class for six months before the victory of Broome. Awad won the consent of Broome to use welding equipment. His biggest success to date: the rocket-shaped bar with beer, at the end of long days with pay in the office. ; Workshops are my number 1 on Google agreed Awad said during a break in the welding work. And you're the main reason to use Google for life.
