The Google Way: Give Engineers Room
I read an article titled The Google Way: Give Engineers Room, written by Bharat Mediratta on October 21, 2007. The article was in the NYTimes. The article talks about what it is like working for Google. They say that 20% of the time that the employees of Google are working, they have to themselves to go with any ideas that they might have. When a person does have a great idea, they form a “grouplet” and work to create this idea and sell it to the rest of the company. The company is basically given free reign on themselves to work for the betterment, in the end, of the company. This is a great way to run a company if you ask me. It allows creativity and passion to become a part of working. This article reminded me of the video we watched during class. Great company to work for!
