Does anyone know anyone that works at Google London?

What's Hot
I'm looking to find out if Google London actually offer work experience slots. From what I have read so far, you either have to be under some kind of program to get in, or know someone who knows someone... 
I'm 16 now, and just in my final year of GCSE's. :)

    I think the other way is come up with a new way to defraud the country of millions in tax revenue ... they let you in after that ;)

    Not sure if evil empires do work experience. I'll google it and let you know.

    Interesting. I guess @Bucket is out of a job now, then...

    I have Googled it, which is why I came to the conclusion that I probably need someone to help. they don't openly advertise work placements.

  • You need to already be on Google's radar to stand a chance. For example, actively participate in open source projects, Google summer of code etc.

    I work at Google London. I don't know anything about work placements though, sorry. 16 sounds too young as I've never seen anybody that young there for more than a week or so.

    Really? Bugger, OK then. I'll still have a punt through my school though, but I'll keep an eye out for other places too. 
    Thanks anyway! :)

    Indeed :)

    I am probably still the kid of the forum by my nature, if not my age any more. :D

    NOT what I am led to believe! The food at all Google locations is meant to be extra special.

  • I knew that dude just yanking both your chains, it was just his list of how well he knew you was looking good for a stalkerish cheap shot.

    But as a wise man once said "it is good to stalk" (copyright Bob Hoskins).

    He seems like a fine young dude and 16 year olds are far to clever and sensible compared to when I was one, which is a good thing trust me. 
    :D

    Only spotted the replies now, sorry. The food is amazing. For instance, when I travel for pleasure I always rate the hotel's breakfast buffet in Googles. Very rarely will a hotel's buffet come up to 0.7 Googles if that. And that's just breakfast. For lunch we have 4, 5 hot dishes, various veg options, salad buffet, freshly-baked pizza, dessert table, etc. It's like being at a posh wedding every day (minus the booze which only comes out Friday pm).
