Raving About the Food at Google


Photo by Brett Lider

The Washington Post is running an excellent article today about the food available at Google. After visiting this weekend, I can say without a doubt that choosing what to eat every day will become pretty difficult for me. On Friday I had freshly prepared steak enchaladas, a salad, a few raspberry-chocolate brownies and a specially made for google icecream sandwich.

That evening, one of my future co-workers shared his secret to not overeating while at Google:

I tell myself that I don't need to keep eating, because there is going to be more amazing food again tomorrow.

Hopefully I'm able to put his advice to work and can manage a reasonable diet around there, because I'd really like to avoid the Google 15.

This past weekend, Lauren and I traveled to San Francisco for the Google sell weekend. They put us up in a swanky hotel, took us out to fancy restaurants and showed us what a good time life can be in the bay area. All in all, it was an impressive display and far more than I needed to be convinced to join the company. I'm excited to announce that upon graduation I will be joining Google as a manager in the Online Sales and Operations Group.

My precise team is yet to be defined, and will likely remain that way until shortly before I start, but none-the-less I am looking forward to working with the team of people that run this organization. Everyone that I've met has been fabulous, the people who will presumably be working for me are super smart and the organization is growing with ambition. I think its a great place to cut my teeth as a manager. More as I know it...
