I'll be joining Google India in first week of March. Wanted to understand how virtual onboarding happens at google ? Will they be delivering the laptop as well the phone? Do I get a choice to select the gadgets? Are there any welcome kits or goodies couriered? #remotework #wfh
Laptop mostly. They will mail a form for which laptop. Ask your manager which laptop is good for the project. Also once you onboard you can take a look at a collaborative internal Google doc for wfh expense stuff
Hey, when do people get phone?
You'd be receiving only the laptop. Nothing else.
Thanks for the info!
Yes you will get a small selection of laptops (Mac, chromebook or a Lenovo I think). Also you’ll get your security keys, and the rest of the instructions will be emailed to you.
Do you get a monitor? Or do you need to use your $1k stipend to get it?
There is something called wfh toolkit which contains a monitor, keyboard and mouse. This is apart from the $1k allowance
When do we get the company id card and other welcome kit?
Been here for almost a year. Haven't get the company id card yet. Unsure as to what the welcome kit is
No swags, coffee mugs or water bottles? 🤔
I’ve always got a laptop, with a bag and headphones as a part of welcome kit. But Google just sent me the laptop and nothing else. Not even a Noogler cap. Should I expect another shipment?
did you ever receive anything else?
i onboarded at google this week and received a laptop only
They’ll communicate all of it to you shortly
Also any idea if 1000$ is still given for wfh setup ? What all can be reimbursed?
check the onboarding FAQ, the 1000 is still given
