So I wanted to work at Google

Whether the diploma under your arm has to do with management and business or engineering, it is likely that Google is the company of your dreams. A survey by Universum with 160 000 job seekers shows that, once again, Google is a company where everyone would like to work.


The Universum made the survey among job applicants of the 12 largest economies in the world in terms of GDP (this includes Brazil, which currently appears in the sixth or seventh, if I remember correctly). Then set up a list with 10 companies from both the most interesting area of ​​business and engineering. And Google got the better of both.

This is the third year in a row that Google appears as the first in the list related to business. In the second appears to KPMG, a consulting firm in several areas, including taxation and auditing.

Technology companies are present in both lists. For business we have Google (1st place), Microsoft (6) and Apple (9). For engineers, technology companies appear to a greater number of times: Google (1st place), IBM (2) Microsoft (3), Intel (5th), Sony (6) Apple (7) and Siemens (9).

And why so many people are interested in working at Google? Why is Google. We have already started by the astonishing numbers of the company - the leader in search and advertising on the World Wide Web. Google is famous for allowing employees to devote most of their time to particular projects, which can then be incorporated into the company's product portfolio. Not to mention the delightful facilities of offices around the world search engine, which tend to draw attention to the convenience and irreverence.

So I wanted to work at Google. But something tells me that the company would not accept an employee who reports on it almost daily here in TB. And again, I'm not as interested in business and engineering to the point of the challenge. I leave the burden (!) To you, noble readers, who understand the subject better.

Is willing to work at Google? This page presents opportunities for the operation in Brazil. Warning logo: say it is very difficult, almost impossible, to join the firm. Another reason for so many people keep an eye on Google.
