Google

Another beautiful and fun to explore Google campus! Lots of great views and places to work or recharge from the higher floors and rooftop areas.

Who doesn't want to enter an office building that looks like a mini chateau every morning? The ballroom on the second floor is great for client events with a barista right across from it. The cafe on the ground floor is great too.

i write here because its about Google Europe Services... I wrote a review about russian embasy in bucharest, a negative review, and Google had no problem with it, even made me popular in search engines... Later i had a negative experience at the French Consulate in Bucharest, and guess what? Google didnt allow my review :) i tried to make less negative, still not allowed to criticize French Consulate/Embassy... Why is that? Freedom of speech? In the end Google EU or Russia or Iran looks the same, when it comes to freedom of speech, isnt it?

Google is a modern company and being housed in a building like that feels not very open and practical. It gives an impression of upper class but I don't think that that is the message Google wants to give to France. The conference rooms are in the basement and that feels like being tucked away while all the cool stuff happens in between Googlers and not with us down there. Next to that nothing worked in the conference room. I would prefer a modern glass building, very transparent to show there is nothing to hide. The entrance next to the gate felt non professionnel. Could be way more classy.

As clients of Google France, we had the opportunity to get insights into your office in Paris. We were impressed and it is really how we expected. Most of the people you see here are not really working but more socialising and together with their colleagues brain-storming. I think this enables the high creativity Google demands from their employees. You have a great place to work in! Nevertheless it is secured like a prison.
