Google has been ranked No.1 in Forbes business magazine’s 2007 list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For in America, following a poll 100,000 employees from 446 companies.

"I joke with my bosses that I would go there and work every day even if they didn’t pay me," said long-time employee and VP of Search and New Products Division Marissa Mayer.

"It’s an incredibly stimulating and employee-friendly environment to work in."

Google had its beginning in Silicone Valley only ten years ago, a start-up founded by Sergey Brin and Larry Page that literally originated in a small garage, expanding to just seven employees in a few months time.

Today, the £75 billion company employs 10,000 people around the world, receiving a C.V. every 25 seconds from eager job-seekers and hires an average of nine new employees a day.
