Inside Google
John Musnicki and Tracy McNeilley toured the class around the Google office which occupies several floors of its office building in Chicago. This tour was also in conjunction with the tour of Red Frog. Google is known for its creative and playful work spaces to promote a relaxed and productive work environment. Food, workout, and comfortable oasis areas provide a new office experience from the conventional office.
Students have been introduced to a new way of experiencing the work environment and can implement these ideas into their future endeavors as entrepreneurs in any career path.
Student Comments:
The space was organized in a creative way that really accommodated the employees to feel comfortable taking a break when experiencing a creative block. The uniqueness of each floor was also an interesting approach to again, break up the monotony of the typical workplace office. – RS
