Which giant would you prefer to work for: Google or Facebook?
It might be a question of personal preference. You can’t help but love one company’s work more than another, which leads to desire to work for them. Aside from that, you could use some objective measurements in choosing between the two.
Google Office
About Google: (as if you needed this)
Google Inc. is an American public corporation specializing in Internet search. It also generates profits from advertising bought on its similarly free-to-user e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking and video-sharing services. Advert-free versions are available via paid subscription. Google has more recently developed an open source web browser and a mobile phone operating system. Its headquarters, often referred to as the Googleplex, is located in Mountain View, California. As of March 31, 2009Â the company had 19,786 full-time employees. It runs thousands of servers across the world, processing millions of search requests each day and about one petabyte of user-generated data each hour.
Facebook Office
About Facebook:
Facebook, Inc. is a company that operates and privately owns social networking website, Facebook. Users can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. Additionally, users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region. The website’s name stems from the colloquial name of books given at the start of the academic year by university administrations with the intention of helping students to get to know each other better.
Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes while he was a student at Harvard University. The website’s membership was initially limited to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It later expanded further to include any university student, then high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over. The website currently has more than 350 million active users worldwide.
So what is your choice? I already made up my mind but I won’t tell you mine 
Facebook..
Its cool than Google..
Nice way to make social network like facebook, but is it illegal to copy a brand like facebook?
facebook is the ultimate : )
My choice is GOOGLE. I think the people who works for GOOGLE enjoy what they’re doing unlike facebook, the people there are very serious.
WOW Google is the best place to work for ever..and i never seen such nice place for work in the world…I hope that one day i have to chance to visit the GOOGLE Office…i really like it.
I was really hoping facebook wuld look betta but Google really does take the cake, the slide was a defin8 showstopper. Im taking tips frm both of them anyway!
Sweet! :-$
Google Office for sure. Facebook office seems elegant and Luxurious. Google offc is cooool..I would love to work in such an atmosphere
I choose Pixar!
my facebook acc canno’t delete old msg’s and now recenctly i cnt download pictures 4r my handset picture side.
Both looks nice! But would rather build my own. Not bad to dream and have a vision, which I’m sure both companies started the same way! Cheers!
Google;-) my no.1 choice
Google;-) 1
Not sure, but I was told facebook guy seemed to be autistic, knowing my son who also is, it’s just natural to me that facebook’s office looks like that!!!
xx
Facebook looks like the collegehumor office. O.o
Google is 20x better though.
I love them both! They both seem fun atmospheres for creative flow and fun, yet sophisticated for their purposes. However… Google wins it for me! Mostly because of the slide! xD
Facebook offices are posh and luxurious but google is cool!!!
grat comparison… it must be considered as an healthy fight… i fear it wont…!!!
try comparing Google vs. Ideo
More or less they have similarities and I liked both of them.
Defniitely Google. There is also a Google/Yahoo comparison I’ve seen and while Yahoo is nice (Nicer than Facebook imo) I’d still choose Google for their innovation, novelty, attempts to stimulate innovation and ideas while maintaining a productive office environment. Their offices and architecture reflect their “outside of the box” thinking which has probably encouraged some of their many unique and innovative services and products.
Facebook looks altogether industrialized. Like they took a warehouse and filled it full of things that just don’t seem to fit. Like they had too much space so they found a bunch of goofy junk to fill it with.
but where is legos ?
Google office i like more than facebook!! but the main thing between the two offices i see is facebook coping google or google copying facebook because they both have bicycles!!
Google office fo sure.
Unfortunately both offices lack a beer fountain and monkey butlers, they should really look into that if they want to properly promote their work “culture”
can we call such places as offices
wow…nice. I think they are great people. So they need more attractive room to give their inspirations.
Google office totally has it. They have slides.
google office is better.
CBAREECs
Facebook looks like a modern office, dressed with shiny, happy things for a one-day shoot. Google looks like it might actually have been designed by the people who work there – as daggy as that might me. It also looks like Google have too much money.
I want to build something like this in the Philippines. But this would take a lot of work. No worries nothing is impossible!
im afraid il just play instead of work at google…lols
Google, definitely. Their workspace seems so much more comfortable. Plus, THEY HAVE A SLIDE and VIDEOGAMES. They just seem so much more relaxed and comfortable in Google, while Facebook’s looks like they had a spy go to Google’s and record what they could remember, so they could copy it.
My vote definitely goes to Google.
Google has a slide… and fish tanks… and a floor that looks like the world… and a boat couch… and neon lights… and a cow.
Pure awesomeness. I pick Google. I wanna work there.
no doubt!!!! google is all over…
facebook is like a child i dont think why people comparing facebook with Google.
of corse it’s a easy choice.. GOOGLE THEY HAVE A EFFERING SLIDE! I would ride it everyday
Google!! it’s so much more authentic, Facebook looks like a fake wanna-be copy of google
i wanna slide in my office!!!!!!!!
I prefer GOOGLE. It seems more productive and comfortable
i really hope i have change be a week staff at google!
then i will try my best to go around this building & feel it.
in our country we don’t have facilitate like this! so good^^
i like GOOGLE’s office.. it is more lax..lol
Google hands down! Plus I hear the cafeteria food is top notch lol
i think that both of them wer great but facebook was a bit more mature and has my vote
The Google office’s slide really made the decision easy! YEY! GOOGLE!
