Diary of a Summer Intern - Pablo
July 3, 2012
Hola a todos!
Wow! It has been only 5 weeks since my internship started and Google already feels like home (and that’s not easy considering that
my hometown
is 6,000 miles away!).
I moved with my wife and son (
see picture here
- he is the cute one!) to the Bay Area because I wanted to learn all I could about business management and apply what I learn in a cool tech company that improves the world. The math was simple for me: business management + tech companies = Bay Area. This is how I became part of the class of 2013 of the MBA at Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. When it came down to looking for a summer internship, I asked myself: what cool tech companies do I know that are improving the world? Obviously, Google was at the top of that list.
I am now a Product Marketing Manager (PMM) MBA Intern at Google’s mobile ads team. Being surrounded by such a talented group of people with a lot of experience in something relatively new as mobile ads has been an intense and rewarding experience so far. I am learning every day about an area that is critical, and will be even more, for the entire internet space: mobile advertising. With millions of people accessing the internet from mobile devices as their primary point of access, mobile ads become more and more relevant every day. How can Google improve user’s experience in mobile? How can Google serve the most relevant information and ads to our users? What should be the value proposition for all our stakeholders (advertisers, publishers, app developers, and users)?
During the summer I am getting to dig deep into these and other questions in the mobile space. From brainstorming how Google can improve its local-mobile ads offering to defining and measuring the metrics that are relevant to understand whether
our efforts to improve mobile internet
are being successful. So much to do in so little time!
But there is much more than work at Google. I’m running out of space in this post but I will talk about everything non-work related in following posts. There is so much to talk about... I could write an entire blog about it myself! Stay tuned to learn about some of the best perks and activities you can find in a company!
Hasta la próxima
!
Fun Google Fact:
There are 26 (26!!) different cafes in Google’s HQ in Mountain View and each of them serves different food. Some interns are on the quest of trying them all for breakfast, lunch, and dinner before the end of their summer internship! Any doubt why the famous
Google 15
is a real thing?
