Google has more than 34,000 employees and is growing steadily over the years. Google is smaller than Exxon Mobil (76,900 employees) and Apple (72,800 employees). Google is trying to create a place where people can be brought together in amazing ways to grow. “We try to have as many channels of expression as possible, recognizing that different people and different ideas will filter in in different ways,” Bock said. When employees go on maternity leave, they receive five full months of full pay, including salary, bonuses and stock. Google believes that if you give your employees freedom and treat them well, they will do amazing things for the company. Google does bottom-up feedback surveys that include about 10-15 questions about their boss. These surveys take place twice a year. Managers can see what percentages of employers are favorable, neutral or unfavorable on certain skills. (Laura
