Just as we've always know, Google employees recognize that it's a gift to be at home in the Lowcountry!
"Google hopes to add its new Berkeley County data center to its global facilities network by this summer, and will ramp up with local hires and current employees from its other U.S. sites, a company executive said earlier this month.
Matt Dunne, Google’s community relations manager, also said the new facility will play a key role in advancing an important new type of collaborative technology. Dunne spoke April 3 to a group of more than 200 at the Charleston Regional Business Journal’s Power Breakfast Series at Trident Technical College.
'Existing Google employees were given first preference of jobs at the new data center, and Charleston is a very desirable place to live,' Dunne said. 'As a result, we had a huge number of people who chose to transfer.
'That said, we’ve placed an emphasis on hiring locally because it’s not only good for business but good for the community, our new neighbors, as a whole.'”
