Insights from Googlers into our products, technology, and the Google culture

Posted by Christine Knight, Maximizer Associate, Google Australia
To our international friends, Australia can have a rep for Crocodile Dundee jokes, poisonous animals and
meat pies with mushy peas
. What you'll find when you visit the new (ish)
Google Australia Blog
are the real reasons why Google has made a significant investment in Australia. And right now there's a post explaining the special doodle that was on the Google Australia homepage for NAIDOC Week.
Both an engineering and sales support hub, our Aussie team is an eclectic mix of people from all walks of life. We're lucky enough to be the home of the original
Google Maps
team, so we're at the forefront of global product releases. Aussie Googlers don't take ourselves too seriously, we love a good laugh, we're always happy to make fools of ourselves for a good cause (so long as we're
beating the Poms
in the Ashes).
Visit our blog to read about new product launches for our Australian users, musings on life as an Aussie Googler and what the team gets up to in the community. (Also, stop by if you want to see words like "centre", "maximise" and "humour" spelt correctly). We hope to see you there!
