global sales conference - google style
well, it's day two and i'm attending google's global sales conference to learn about the message being pushed in the field and to try to get up to speed about as many products as fast as possible.
all in all, the conference is done really well. the logistics are coordinated well, the equipment is top notch, and of course, there's tons of food and drink to be had. the content is quite interesting, but i'm not allowed to share most of it (sorry :p)
while at the conference, i've gotten some new perspective and had some time to reflect upon the factors driving my decision to leave microsoft for google. here's what i came up with:
not to mention that the company has some cool perks and definitely knows how to party. free food, open bars, lots of swag, company ski trip... they sure pile on the goodies :)

- i wanted to work at a company that focuses on disruptive technologies.
- i wanted work to be fun.
- i wanted to work on stuff i thought was interesting.

Hey Mark,
hope you'll keep posting about your experiences; from here in a small town in the UK, it's really interesting reading about life at Google. Congratulations on landing the job; sounds great. Good luck!
Can you tell us a bit more about what you're going to be doing? (Like, are you an engineer, marketer, SQA or what?)
cheers
Flubba
