Google at Barcelona?

Eva in an enlightened comment just gave some reasons that a knowledge based company such as Google should consider:

“A Barcelona office may be dangerous in the sense that the weather calls for an outdoor life year round (and everything that this implies…). But this can also be a huge benefit. Barcelona offers a tremendous quality of life, for oneself, for socializing, for families. And the social interactions, diversity, and life excellence can bring about passion, dedication and creativity to what one does.

Definitely, the Barcelona Google Research and Development Office could generate a different breed o applications, solutions, services and even products. People will be stimulated, giving and receiving constantly! It could also be a great location to retain the best employees, to keep them motivated by offering them and their families the best quality of live one can desire, the best colleagues to work with and learn from. It can also offer a University environment so Google employees around the world can breathe the Barcelona air for a period of time while they feed their minds with creative and mind and body learnings and experiences.

And lastly, because there are people such as Ludo and myself that will not consider leaving Barcelona at this point, even for the best of opportunities. I did live abroad for over 12 years but now I’ve settled back, have a family, and not having a car and walking to work, school, the bars, stores and beach is just… pure luxury!”

Well, considering that Google has offices in California with a “Mediterranean like” weather I don’t think that sunny days may be an inconvinient

Thanks Eva!
