Employees

In 2007 and early 2008, several top executives
left Google and joined yahoo and facebook.
Retention technique
As a motivation technique, Google uses a policy
often called Innovation Time Off, where Google
engineers are encouraged to spend 20% of
their work time on projects that interest them.
Some of Google's newer services, such as
Gmail, Google News, Orkut, and AdSense
originated from these independent endeavors.
In a talk at Stanford University, Marissa Mayer,
Google's Vice President of Search Products and
User Experience until July 2012, showed that
half of all new product launches in the second
half of 2005 had originated from the Innovation
Time Off.
New employees are
called "Nooglers," and
are given a
propeller beanie cap
to wear on their first
Friday.
