Deciding my start date and want to see whether I can make it to the holiday party
Does G still give all the employees Christmas presents?
Yes we are
That would be 95 thousand gifts! Think Not!
Why are you letting a party determine your start date?
My thoughts exactly
Because he is mostly single and no other concerns in life :) some people just have it easy.
There are few offices which still do Holiday/New year party. But it is a low key affair and you would be disappointed if you take a major life decision based on this event. You would have many team/org/company wide events which are much well funded. My advice, if you are so near to holidays, don’t join. Take a few weeks break and enjoy holidays .
It’s best to join by the end of the year tho in order to get the RSU refresh in 2019.
YouTube's is Dec 2
Y u want G party, u are getting out of cisco and going to G. Throw your own party
I attended 3 of Google’s Christmas parties in NYC. A friend of mine worked at Google NYC and was able to get me a ticket for 2011, 2012, and 2015. The first one was by far the nicest holiday party ever, at the NY Public Library’s stunning Schwarzman building in Bryant Park. The most beautiful holiday party I’ve ever attended, and massive. The other 2 were at the Waldorf-Astoria, which is also nice and huge. But nothing compares to a Beaux-Arts dream like the NYPL main building. They were all kickass parties. My friend left Google last year and I moved to Seattle. Does Google NYC still have these lavish parties?
No
Oops, too sad, I hope it won’t become a boring company like Cisco
Huh? Yes we do have Christmas party this year.
