So, first day in Google has passed. Due to the extreme appeal to confidentiality, I suppose I’m not allowed to discuss here the contents of the welcome and initial training, so I will focus on the feelings. Speaking of which, the atmosphere is very very positive, with a whole lot of nooglers (newbie-googlers) coming from all over the europe (portugal, poland, sweden, israel and so on…) for their initial training. This is especially interesting for me, since it’s my first true experience abroad (excluding univerisity thesis period).

For some curious reason, I am the only engineer in this “training lot” , all the other guys being headed to marketing, sales and finance. I suppose I’ve got a biased view on Google, since I was expecting to see a ratio engineers/other people of 100:1, even if, thinking about it, it’s clearly illogical.

I have also officially updated my LinkedIn profile which now officially reflects my new position !
