It has been a great 6 weeks at Google. I had a check-in with my
host last week on how things were going, my experience thus far.
Google makes it a
point to do this to ensure that interns have an opportunity to receive timely
inputs. Overall my experience so far has been great.
I have had a
chance to share my interim findings and am now on to my implementation phase.
What this really means is interns get an opportunity to do meaningful work and
really immerse themselves in the culture of the place. I am beginning to get a
hang of how things are done here and am able to navigate my way around.
On the fun side of things, we have quite a lot of intern
activities that are going on which gives me a chance to meet other interns. A
few of us are going to watch a movie, get dinner in the city and really get to
know each other. All the interns have such informal groups. We have frequent
sharing sessions with other interns and this also gives an opportunity for all
of us to understand or at least get a glimpse of the projects other interns are
doing.
I had a chance to meet the OCD Director last week together with an
alumnus who is working at Google. We had a great conversation about his
perception of Ross.
On a personal front, I bought my new car and it is amazing! I went
to the Indian temple nearby and did the necessary ‘Pooja’ (prayers) – this is
part of the Indian tradition. Over the last few weeks, I have also had a chance
to connect with some of my high-school friends from India who are now working
in the Bay area!
A great few weeks I must say!
