On the way to top - Noogler Orientations Day 1
Noogler - New Googler: New recruit google employee
July 11th, 2011 afternoon, I was about to took the flight to Hyderabed in India. This is actually the second time there, since last time was attending IC 2010 with my lovely MC team and LCP team. Yet this time is for an exciting journey at Google.
Soon I have arrived at the international airport in Hyd. The first thing shocks me was there were 2 people to pick me and Judy(my teammate). And they drive 2 cars for picking us and our stuff seperately! Before we got on the cub, someone from Google even gave us a call to confirm everything was alright, and it was 00:00 in the midnight. From here, I can see the importance of employee for Google, even we are just a Summer intern.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wake up at 7:00, we gathered at the first floor of hotel lobby with several other new recruits and ready for the first day of our google life.
After we arrived at google office, we were all just standing outside of the lobby and waiting for the HR to come to pick us up. Since this month is the peak for the campus recruitment, so we total have around 40 people gonna join the induction day which is exciting for me.
At around 8:00, I was starving and waiting for the breakfast so badly, soon our HR buddy, Sonia, who helped me with all the visa and flight stuff guide us to the place where we can have the food together. That was a really big place with lots indian food and drink. This is really excits me!
After the full and nice breakfast, we started the first day of "Noogler Induction Day".
Before we start our induction, there were lots of Googlers standing in front of us. They are ourNoogler buddy who will take care of us
during the priod and ensure we will not get lost...
Anyway, HR team has arrange lots of sessions for us, inculding the Google ovewview, culture and staffing process..etc. Something I found interesting was the session about Google recruiting process. Detail I cannot share here due to the company intelligence guideline. Yet you can learn thatacceptence rate of Google offerring was even lower that Harvard admission!!! Which means we all have the similar competitiveness in a way. And second thing I found interesting was, in order to make employee feel comfortable for work, company gave you some option for your personal laptop. You can either choose a Mac pro, air or ThinkPad. All the version is enterprise level with higher quality.
During the lunch time, our buddy having the happy hour with us. Something interest me again was there have some big screen TV shows the latest campaign which Google is running. They use the lunch for promotion and communication internally. Recently we are running a Googler rotation and career development program which you will have the chance to relocate around the global office. This is really excits me, since I am just looking for such a company who can provide the global rotation experience.
Arround 16:00 in the afternoon, we have the last activity for the first day induction. Which was team challenge, and this recalled my memory in AIESEC :P Anyway, we have to form a team of 4 people and you have a list of tasks have to be fullfill. Tasks were various from get the signature from the team leads to finding some interesting place in Google office. The purpose for the activity was let us understand the office and also bonding with other Nooglers.
Soon, we almostly finish the first day of Noogler Induction. And in order to keep my memory and share my Googler experience to more people, I have setting a goal that I have to write notes everyday about what is happening here in India.
Catch up with you guys soon. And stay tune for the second day of Google!
The last thing I want to say is that: I am feeling lucky to become a Googler!!!!!!!!!
