One of my very best friends from school, AK, just joined Google for the summer, and he is totally in love with it!.
The funny part of it is that he was absolutely convinced that his destiny was in one of the best consulting firms worldwide. He couldn't talk about another company, and he couldn't picture himself working at another company. Now... surprinsingly, after one week in Google, he's changing his mind. He actually thinks he could stay there, and that he sees it as a grea option for his professional career!
There's something about Google that makes it an special place to work at. It's not the free food, the customized schedule, the cool projects they have, the people... but a combination of all this.
In which company (Google's size) would a summer intern (in his first week) be invited to a meeting held by the founders of the company and actually be allowed to express his opinions and thoughts on the issue at hand? Well... I don't think this happens in many places. But it does happens in Google.

I know that Google is one of the coolest places to work right now. However the question is, is their momentum sustainable?
I can see signs of a change in the trend: lack of internal control, lack of focus (how can be possible that the RSS Reader has no SEARCH engine included????), ...
Enjoy it now, I don't feel it's a place to stay longer.
