About Google

Since its founding in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google has evolved from a university dorm room search engine project into one of the world’s most influential technology companies. Headquartered in Mountain View, California, Google’s expansive portfolio includes products and services such as the Chrome web browser, Android operating system, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Google Drive, and its industry-defining AdWords advertising platform. The company has embraced flexibility in the workplace, implementing a hybrid model in 2022 that typically requires employees to work in-office three days per week, while continuing to offer to select fully remote, freelance, part-time, and temporary opportunities in fields like software development and ecommerce, engineering, project management, and administration. Google supports its workforce with a robust range of benefits, including healthcare, parental leave, retirement plans, mental wellness support, and personal and professional development programs. Despite its global scale, Google remains dedicated to nurturing a collaborative, startup-inspired culture, where employees, affectionately called "Googlers", are encouraged to innovate and share ideas. Rooted in its mission to make the world’s information universally accessible and useful, Google is also a leader in sustainability and corporate responsibility. As the largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy globally, the company has maintained carbon-neutral operations since 2007 and continuously seeks to drive environmental impact through its products and initiatives that promote efficiency and reduce carbon footprints across industries.
