damned ..i wish i could work in Google office ..damned cool ...

heaven for employee like us

free food/lunch
free gym
free medical
free sport

free time to do anything we want ..

It's not 100% free time, it's only 1 day per week but that's pretty significant.

Google is nice in the sense that it attracts the best and brightest people there. That to me is interesting.

Workplace wise, my current office already has all the above, aside from the free food. We only get free hot drinks

my work place got free food

Yes, the best place to work is in Google company

Yes, it is the best of the best place to work.

But from what I read, it is very difficult to get in. They only select the best of the best people to get in. Therefore, your attitude is already right before you go in. You won't spend your free time doing something not productive.

yes indeed . alots of ppl are trying to get thru Google but only the best will be chosen

not just the best ....best of the best

my work place got all those totally free... all on an offshore installation

The best workplace in Malaysia (AFAIK) is DiGi HQ in Shah Alam, kewll , i like their concept, Norweigean company rawks

Mind to share your experience ? Any pic ?

its RM80m HQ.. of cz its very nice

From what I've heard from a close friend who works there, the new Digi HQ office doesn't have cubicles, anyone can sit wherever they want with their laptops to do their work. Very cool idea. The landscaping is also very nice, plus their meeting rooms are more like cozy, private dining rooms than the typical sterile meeting room.

Digi is definitely up there among the best employers in Malaysia, however I'm happy with just having telecommuting and flexi hour benefits from my current employer

im still a student LOL , i read about it on the newspaper

wow i am impressed if employees actually given such freedom to roam around with no cubicle setting. Such work environment definitely eliminate the falling asleep in office syndrome

The idea is great, but after I've seen it, I guess it's not exactly my style. No personalization of your cubicle, a bit more of a hassle to keep your mugs/books/magazines at one place ie. you have to store them in your locker at the end of each day instead of just leaving them at your cubicle. Maybe i'm just lazy

Oh about falling asleep, my previous office had a leather sofa for that purpose. My current office has a resting area with a few beds. Better to spend 1 hour sleeping and 3 hours productive in the afternoon.

to be at google u need to be from Harvard or famous US universities. and ur score must be top notch

Yea, everywhere is open concept in new digi HQ. There still got some personal office for certain department. but as for my department, its not frenly to have this kind of environment
Just image a big working space with all flat tables, and chairs .
still prefer cubicle type where u can have ur own private space ....

I can't believe that i made this post.

Has anybody succeed to enter and work at Google?

So where have u been working? Huhu

Not Google. That's for sure.

Where's google office in Malaysia?
Do they need more staff??..

I believe they had sales and marketing Dept in KL office. They do have their own premise at kl Sentral..you can search for them.

I believe they do hiring more staff..but only the best will be accepted.

Any Googler in LYN forum?

tishaban
Seems like my kinda office... got vacancies where U are ah?

I'm in oil and gas, no vacancies and thankful I have a job

I may have an option to go to the google office next week. I'll find out if they're hiring

I think J got the better of me; I ain't one of those who wishes and am hopeful to be working at Google! Enjoy your visit there though It's a beautiful office

So when are we lunching?

Nice there tinkerbell

Anybody manage to attend final interview with Google? Please do share the experience and thoughts.

kevler

Sorry but which part of my conversation were you referring to?!

Facebooker in Singapore here.

From what I heard from connections in Google, both offices are pretty similar. READ: awesome �

Basically I don't spend any money on weekday. Commute food snacks boozes all free.

Would love to visit both offices back home someday.

was gonna ask you about FB till I read your thread 'office no amoi'.

That was previous job.

any vacancy in fb sg now?

Yes if you're proficient in BI/SQL + good in standard software development methodologies/languages.

FB MY is more a sales office, so the ah moi's should be aplenty there

really?

gonna send my CV there

nexona88
Lol.. I don't work there so I can't be sure... the boss is pretty though

Gosh.. this thread already 15 years. Time flies.

Fyi. I managed to reach their final interview 2 times during 2016 and 2018. At Singapore

But still the hunger for job placement never fade away.

Nice, i had the pleasure of visiting the Google HQ in Singapore and it was really awesome as an office. Really breathtaking.

Free booze at the cafeteria


Rooftop garden where you can go to work


Stairs to everywhere, they encourage walking over taking the lifts


Friday after work soiree, alcohol and food is served

Nice but you better work 24x7.

there's some big company around malaysia do provide such free benefit. Just the office might lose a bit.

Not really at all, my friends working there have a great work-life balance. Plenty of time for family time and also going on holidays.

Don’t be evil

Sad that Google doesn't want to expand their operations to Malaysia. Only for marketing.

Why do you say that? Have you been to their various offices at KL Sentral (hint, they have more than 1 office). Plenty of different roles available there from YouTube, Google Cloud (new growth segment) and Google Workspaces besides the usual advertising and marketing areas. Just that Google has frozen hiring in quite a bit of countries

don't have to work at google.

i work at this place: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4650037&hl=

also got free food, sports, activities all year round

Which company do you work at located there? Movie related? SIA? Danone? Ericsson?

Cries in Google Graveyard products

tell your boss you didn't touch or use another of the facility. can balik on time

Ah, really? Last time I checked which was years ago, they were only hiring marketers.

Guess lots of things have changed since then.

The roles are not usually advertised and they target top talents in the region to join the fray. A lot of the roles are recommended in by internal Googlers.

Mind to PM me your company name

I'm just curious if you noticed the date when you replied.
I worked for Shell

LOL, better late than never! But in this context, it doesn't work. 15 years difference haha!

really, i thought they only hire non tech in malaysia. tech people go to sg

I learned to never assume

Nice

interesting.

Most tech hires for Google APAC are based in Singapore. For Malaysian techies, if you are not fortunate enough to be in Silicon Valley or Austin, Texas, the next best destination is Singapore.

I am in the cyber security field based in Singapore and despite all the talk of recessions etc tech has never grown faster than now.

Tech is the new goldmine and is the ultimate meritocratic frontier. Tongkat, malas and songlap mindsets need not apply.

Only applies to tech firms in meritocracy-friendly nations right?
I don't think Malaysian tech firms are anywhere near meritocratic, generally speaking.

Precisely. Not that Malaysia has a tech firm worth anyone’s time.

Google's environment is really good.
