Thank you Mr.Thanh, for the amazing tour at Google today with your interesting stories.
One of the interesting points at Google is the entrance gate with two impressive logo perspectives. The design features 2 perspectives of WELCOME and GOOGLE when viewed from two different directions.
Google’s office in Singapore is a dream workplace for those working in the technology field.
Check-in machines are located at the entrance and exit gates, and Google employees are allowed to bring guests into the building by registering and receiving a pass here. Despite being a “giant,” Google is very relaxed and open about this issue. They always encourage employees to bring friends and family to visit here whenever they want.
The Google office is designed in a modern open space style with colors based on the logo. Google pays attention to every small detail in the office from electrical outlets, phone charging stations to the use of a wide range of modern technology devices to maximize the work process of employees.
Another work area is creatively designed to generate inspiration and energy for employees.
The event lobby area is designed for developers from all over the world to attend important technology events. You don’t have to be a Google employee, if you are a technology enthusiast and working in this field, you can also come here to attend events specifically for professionals.
Google downsizes with its current flagship products. The love and pride of Google employees are shown in every small detail.
Between each floor, there are interconnected spaces to avoid a sense of confinement. Although there are elevators, the company encourages employees to take the stairs to improve their health after sitting for too long in one position. When taking the stairs, people at Google also have the opportunity to meet, chat and connect with each other. The colors of the stairs are different on each floor, depending on the products of that floor.
At Google Singapore, there are many meeting rooms and the common feature of these meeting rooms is that anyone can use them. Employees who want to use them just need to swipe their employee card to activate the devices in the room. The modern rooms are fully equipped with two LCD screens, speakers…
Most of the meeting rooms have a transparent glass design and chairs and tables outside the room that allow anyone to participate if they wish. The special thing about Google is that they do not prohibit outsiders from attending meetings. However, they have a separate seating area to ensure that they do not disturb those who are in the meeting.
Google equips its employees with smart desks that can be adjusted to any height they want. Each employee is provided with a personal laptop to work with. When they arrive at the office, they can connect to the available monitor at their desk or choose to work in an open space outside.
Google’s office is designed in an open style. And employees are free to choose where they will work anywhere in the office without any constraints or restrictions.
With workspaces like this, it’s no wonder Google employees enjoy their work, isn’t it?
Beside workspaces, Google’s canteens are also scattered throughout the office and are considered the center of each floor. Especially, 100% of the food and drinks here are free for both employees and visitors. In addition to the canteens, Google employees can also use other facilities such as gyms, internal transportation vehicles, rest areas, massage chairs, spas, …
The large cafeteria is a favorite gathering spot for many Google employees. The dining areas are distributed widely and there are specialized dining areas that serve specific types of food. Each floor will have a different culture, and if you want to learn more about that culture, you can freely move to other floors.
The reason why the Canteen is the central area is because people feel comfortable and happy when they eat and drink. Here, people with similar interests can meet, chat, share emotions and difficulties, and from there feel more comfortable and easily connect.
It’s not difficult for you to come across areas like this at Google. The entertainment area is designed for Google employees to come and relax when they are stressed. The entertainment rooms are soundproofed so that employees can comfortably release emotions without worrying about affecting other working spaces.
It is not difficult to come across colorful paths like this at Google – a way to effectively change the mood for employees when moving through different areas.
The “con nhà người ta” style phone booth with spacious and fully equipped space. Here, there are full computer screens, webcams, boards, and notepads for Google employees to unleash their creativity and present ideas during video conference meetings.
Getting a closer look at the “dream workspace” at Google Singapore headquarters is enough to give GenZers extra energy for their upcoming goal of going global, isn’t it? Start right now! There are many opportunities waiting for you and let VTC Academy accompany you on your journey!
