Negativity here, the pictures are horribly warped (possibly to capture more of the room in one shot) which gives a skewed perception of office sizes, and of course the people look staged. Could be actors, given the surreal-looking male/female distribution (or it's not a developer office). (not a sexist remark, just a comment on the poor male/female ratio in software development in general)



Not actors, a friend of mine (female) appears in one of the photos (that's how I got the link to the article). There're a lot of employees for EMEA user support.


The ratio is actually surprisingly good at Google. Over the summer, my team's ratio was about 50/50.


Indeed, the Dublin office is mostly sales (little or no eng) IIRC


I'm pretty sure they've some Site Reliability Engineers over there too.

edit: As a fact I've got a couple of recruiters offering that position in Dublin.


Yep, but not in that building.

I prefer this one, though. It's cozy, and has engineer-oriented amenities like workshops. :-)


They have some, but I think it's mostly non-tech-y, i.e. Support.


I've had recruiters contact me about development roles there too.


I work there as a engineer. The engineers sit in another office around the corner.


Interesting. I assumed it'd be mostly accounting.
