About Google:

Google's innovative search technologies connect millions of people around the world with information every day. Founded in 1998 by Stanford Ph.D. students Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google today is a top web property in all major global markets. Google's targeted advertising program, which is the largest and fastest growing in the industry, provides businesses of all sizes with measurable results, while enhancing the overall web experience for users. Google is headquartered in Silicon Valley with offices throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. Regardless of the location, Google has earned a reputation as an invigorating and comfortable workplace. Fortune magazine named Google the best company to work for in 2007.

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. We rely on four important elements of the business to keep us ahead. For starters, we are first and foremost a technology company. We're organized around the inventions and capabilities of new platforms that are becoming available by virtue of inexpensive personal computers, new software technologies, new algorithms, and new approaches to understanding information. Our technology is our first proprietary competitive advantage, second is how we have learned to use that technology. We not only invest in technology, but we've also learned how to make technologies scale. Third is our brand. We are so proud to have been named “Brand of the Year” two years running by Interbrand and we work very hard to make sure that the name Google is well-known and well thought of around the world. Fourth, and truly important, is our culture. We want the very best people to want to work here. We offer benefits from three meals a day, to on-site health care and laundry facilities. We are focused on letting everyone know how much we value their contributions and to keep them, frankly, from ever leaving the office. Our people are definitely our most important advantage, and we rely on them to help us stay ahead of the pack.
