11 Cities with Google Interns this summer
August 7, 2014
Google has interns in cities all over the world this summer. Take a look at this list of 11 cities with Google interns to give you a taste of how each of these locations contributes to Google’s multifaceted and unique culture.
11. Sydney, AU
Our Sydney office, the greenest building in
Sydney
, sits on the waterfront in Pyrmont with views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, The Rocks, and Darling Harbour. Inside, you’ll find a "living wall" made of plants, a tire swing, a library with a nap pod, and some amazing coffee machines. When interns really need a break, they check out a kayak or one of our electric cars (Mitsubishi I-MiEVs).
10. Dublin, IE
This Google office embraces Dublin’s unique Irish culture with graffiti murals and classic scenes from Irish folklore covering the walls. Interns often like to get a game of Blackball at the billiards table when they need a break. And, of course, Google Dublin couldn’t go without a conference room named “James Joyce.”
9. Los Angeles, CA, USA
Googlers play a large part in the growing technology industry in LA. When interns aren’t working together improving YouTube’s or Google’s search experiences, they might watch a movie at the office’s outdoor movie theatre or spend time at the beach a mere two blocks away from the office.
8. Waterloo, Canada
Located in the historic Lang Tannery Building, Google Waterloo is best known for being the birthplace of Gmail for Mobile and, of course, the site for Canada’s only officially recognized in-office slide. Waterloo is one of Google’s largest offices for fall and winter tech interns.
7. Seattle/Kirkland, WA, USA
With offices on either side of Lake Washington, this Google location encompasses both the urban and the suburban in the Pacific Northwest. With much of Google’s infrastructure developed under our belt here, interns have the opportunity to work on essential products like Google+ Hangouts and Chrome.
6. Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Google Pittsburgh, the former Nabisco Factory, holds over 400 Googlers—not to mention a giant hammock nicknamed “the trapeze net.” The office is located in Bakery Square, just minutes from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. Interns in the Pittsburgh office get the opportunity to work on site reliability and products like Mobile and Google Shopping.
5. Paris, FR
Located in a renovated hôtel, our Google Paris office has distinctly Parisian touches. Interns snack on wine and cheese for TGIF meetings, take meetings in a Citroën Deux Chevaux-turned-phone booth, and eat at a cafeteria nicknamed Les Deux Algos (short for algorithms). C’est la vie chez Google! (That’s life at Google!)
4. Singapore
Like the country itself, the Google Singapore office is home to both locals and foreigners. We give a distinct twist to the ways we have fun-lah, from Chinese New Year parties to Hari Raya Puasa, Indian holidays and weekly celebrations themed after countries where we do business. Interns enjoy the newly decked-out micro-kitchens, modeled after traditional street food stalls. Our Singapore office brings together a diverse community of Googlers – fitting, in a country with four official languages (English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil).
3. Zurich, CH
Self-proclaimed as “the real Mountain View.” Not because they are the company’s engineering headquarters for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), but because of the views out of the top-floor Sky Lounge’s windows. The Alps may look impressive in
Google Earth
, but in person, they’re nothing less than spectacular. The Zurich office also hosts Google’s annual EMEA Intern summit, where Google interns from across Europe get an opportunity to meet each other and learn more about what their colleagues are working on at other offices.
2. New York, NY
If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. We take that to heart at Google New York—constantly reinventing ourselves to strive for the best. With thousands of Googlers working in an office that takes up an entire New York city block, the energy here is undeniable. Interns in New York enjoy five incredible cafes, scooters, and a ladder for when they can’t wait for the elevator.
1. Mountain View, CA
Where it all began. Though the company has grown from Larry and Sergey working out of a garage to the Mountain View campus known as the Googleplex, the mission is still the same: to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible. Interns enjoy numerous perks, but to name a few: beach volleyball, bowling alleys, 25 cafeterias, and weekly TGIF gatherings where Googlers are encouraged to ask senior management anything and everything. Changing the world one user at a time truly begins here.
