Google Company

Paradise Lost ……. Or Gained?

A swimming pool and spa, laundry facilities, access to a massage at the office, free delicious gourmet meals. What more could an employee want? Sounds like an ideal job. However, at Google, many people are demonstrating by their decisions to leave the company that all those perks (and these are just a few) are not enough to keep them there. But Google is making money, it has a hugely creative workforce, and it is widely considered to be a great place to work. Google has been named the “best company to work for”, Google executives made the decision to offer all those fabulous perks for several reasons; to attract the best knowledge workers it can in an intensely competitive, cut throat market; to help employees work long hours and not have to deal with time consuming personal chores outside work and to have employees remain Googlers (the name used for the current employees) for many years. But a number of Googlers have given up these fantastic benefits to go out their own.

Sean Knapp and other colleagues came up with an idea for handling online videos. They left Google in April 2007, leaving all the free gourmet meals and spa facilities behind them, to set up their own company. When the threesome left the company, Google did their best to keep them and their project, and even offered them unlimited financial support to develop their idea. But the three young entrepreneurs realized they would be outing in all the effort, and they wouldn’t even own the product themselves it would belong to Google. So instead off they went, for the excitement of start-up.
