Once upon a time, Google was an inspirational company full of originality and a culture that cultivated innovation. For nearly fifteen years under the founders Larry and Sergey and great leaders like Eric Schmidt, Google's search engine and technologies shaped the way we thought, worked and lived our lives. In the years that followed, it began to falter and lose its way under new leadership who sought to constantly reinvent itself in ways that utterly destroyed its culture, wasted resources, and ultimately lead to a major downturn in employee morale, product innovation, and relevance in a fast moving industry. All while those behind some of the worse decisions in the company's history apathetically reap the rewards of tearing the company apart. Unlike leaders of the past who worked for $1, the current leaderships benefits $225 million while tens of thousands lose their jobs and major reformation for downtown San Jose which displaced and raised property prices for thousands have halted.
I work remotely as a Google apprentice. While there are no benefits for this position, Google does have very nice benefits for other non-apprentice positions. I really enjoy working here and believe that anyone interested should apply for these apprentice positions or for an internship.
For the first time in history, search engines are considered the most trusted source of news and general information, even being trusted over traditional publications according to a new report by Quartz and Google is the best.
