Today, everything starts with Google, and this
year’s AADA NADA Study Tour to San Francisco in California was no exception.
Our hosts at Googleplex (a sprawling 16,700m2 Campus
designed by Clive Wilkinson Architects in 2005) welcomed us with yummy lattes,
cappuccinos, muffins, and more before we started our tour.
While most of us were impressed by this facility,
we were completely stunned to hear what the company provides for its employees.
Our guide told us that she and her colleagues never
go hungry. The company serves free pizza, salads, tacos, vegetarian dishes,
pastas and deserts at one of the many cafeterias and delis spread across the
entire complex.
