About the company

Google

Company overview
Google is a technology company that builds consumer and enterprise products used worldwide, including Search, YouTube, Android, Chrome, Google Maps, and Gmail. Google also operates Google Cloud, offering infrastructure and platform services for businesses and public sector organisations. The company earns a large share of revenue from advertising products tied to Search and YouTube, alongside growing cloud and subscription businesses. Google is a subsidiary of Alphabet.

Locations and presence

Google has major office hubs across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, alongside a wide global office footprint. Google roles are commonly tied to specific office locations, with public reporting in 2025 describing tighter rules for remote arrangements and a stronger push toward hybrid attendance for employees who live near an office.

Palpable Score

84.2
/ 100
Google offers multiple well-known entry paths for students and graduates, and Google publishes unusually detailed hiring and interviewer-calibration practices that are designed to reduce bias. The main constraint on the score is early-career stability: public reporting about restructures, buyouts, and stricter location rules makes outcomes less predictable than the brand reputation alone would suggest.
