Google & BookFool.com: Separated at Birth
Have you seen this email going around about Google’s swank headquarters? It features pictures of their incredible cafeteria, workstations, cafe, meeting rooms, and more.
We admire Google as a company, and we believe we provide much the same experience for our workers. For future and aspiring Fools, enjoy this photographic comparison of our two fine companies.
Cafeteria
Googlers enjoy a wide range of free selections in their on-campus cafeteria...
...and so do the exceptionally well-fed Fools.
Workstations
Googlers have created a clean, dynamic working environment with top of the line equipment...
...while Fools can claim their own patch of carpet and folding table...
...and just open the garage door when they need a breeze.
Cafe
Google's tech support desk offers coffee drinks while you wait for your computer to be fixed...
...while Fools enjoy all the Maxwell House and non-dairy creamer they can drink.
Fun Ride
Googlers ride the slide to lunch...
...while Fools take the giant stairs.
Library
Google's library has thousands of books...
...ours, well, tens of thousands.
But will Google let you Draw on the Walls?
Looking at the pics above, you can be forgiven for thinking we’re the same company. But if you’re deciding whether to apply at Google or BookFool.com, consider this: We let you draw on the walls!
The Stud.
Laser dolphin.
Steve, the book dragon.
Prickly heart.
Bathroom reading.
And sometimes we got burgers!
Grillin'
There are striking similarities between BookFool.com’s digs and Google’s.
I’d like to see how other companies compare to Google too…
Glad to be a Fool!
quite swanky indeed.
“…ours, well, tens of thousands.” I think you got ‘em on that one!
