Saw a feature on this on Oprah (oh God I admitted I seen Oprah, it was already ok) and apparently they have all this stuff and more.

They get like 1300 CVs a day and I can see why!!!!

Makes me dislike my job even though I really love it

I went to apply there and the ad said that they were only interested in people with a 1.1 degree in any discipline. Seems silly to me.

My current job might see me going to visit their offices sometime. I'll report back when I do.

Google are pretty persistent when they decide to woo someone. A friend of mine had some surreal conversations with their HR:

"I'm not qualified for this job."

"We don't care. We want you."

"I guess I'm kinda interested in your geographical location but only for my own academic research, nothing to do with this job."

"That's fine. Great. Good for you. We're willing to accommodate you in any way we can."

"Errrr."

"You're hired."

as the article states, their recruitment campaign is a marketing campaign. and they regard themselves as an ad company, so they'd want to know that turf.

I've heard the interview process is intense. There can be around 10 interviews before they make a decision.

Does anyone here work for Google in Dublin? Do they have an engineering department or is it all advertising, finance etc.?

I know a couple of people who work for them. One in sales/marketing and the other in technical/engineering.

And are they as happy as the ad states? As the thread is 'apparently' the best???

Looking at the Google.ie website it seems that the engineering jobs are mainly to develop applications used internally. I guess all the cool internet stuff is done over in Mountain View.
