Robyn Beavers was one of the assistants to the two co-founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin (first syllable of the first name is pronounced as "Sir" and second is pronounced as "Gay") when it first started in 2004.
Beavers says, "One of the greatest things about Google is it always encourages its employees to try new things."
In 2005, she went up to Larry and Sergey and proposed a so called green strategy group. Being someone (Robyn Beavers) who directly reports to them, it would be very inconvenient if they lose her to another project. But, she said, they were very supportive of her idea.
Mobility is not a problem for employees. Google allows them to spend 20% (1 work day) of their billable time on a project of their choice.
She concluded, "I've talked a lot of people at Google, and they found that once they started here, they learn so much about the company. And there are so many opportunities. And they're encouraged to seize them. So it's easy to start at one job (or opportunity inside Google). Work really hard on it for a couple of years and then find another opportunity to pursue."
