Due Week 4 and worth 300 points
Google is widely known for its workplace
creativity and innovation within the technology field. Its search engine is the
most extensively used search tool in the world, its data analytics are
revolutionary, and it continues to raise the bar for innovation and design with
Google Glass, smart watches, and mobile phones. Google has been featured in
dozens of technology and business magazines.
Additionally, Fortune Magazines
list of the Best Companies to Work For 2014 has ranked Google number one
(#1). This ranking is largely due to employee benefits such as free meals, dry
cleaning services, video games, massage therapy, in-door gyms, shuttle
services, and affordable daycare services for employees.
