What it's like to Work at Google

Mike Pegg has been a "Googler" (meaning, he has worked at Google) for fifteen years.  He takes us through a typical day at Google headquarters in Mountain View,  California--from free made-to-order gourmet breakfasts to riding iconic colorful Google bikes around campus.   Mike explains how microkitchens and TGIF--the "crown jewel of Google culture"--date back to the beginning of the company's history.  We learn the definition of "Googleyness" (if there is one), and get into the company's arduous interview process.  And we take a deep dive into the notorious Google perks, from massages to a bowling alley, and learn which celebrity Mike caught in a nap pod. Bonus points for any listener who catches how many lattes Mike typically drinks each day. 

Mike's current role is Head of Google Maps Platform Developer Relations.
