Google's Young Brainiacs Go Globe-Trotting
theodp writes "To train a new generation of leaders, Google sends its young associate product managers on a worldwide mission. Newsweek's Steven Levy tagged along and reports on the APMs' activities, which included passing out candy, notebooks and pencils to poor Raagihalli children, a 'Rubber Ducky' group sing-along at 2 a.m., and competitions to find the weirdest-gadget-under-$100 in Tokyo. The APM program, which seeks brilliant kids and slots them directly into important jobs with no experience necessary, was formed after Google's attempts to hire veterans from firms like Microsoft had awful results. 'Google is so different that it was almost impossible to reprogram them into this culture,' says Google CEO Eric Schmidt of the experienced hires."
how about one of you google monopoly troll tards explain how your locked into google, or shut up?
If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine....
oh shut up, old people have no idea what's going on lol. I'm 20 and I've been working (well contracted for a special project) at a hospital and I tell you, the older the people in the IT crew are, the less they know about computers and modern computing. They're just there and in high positions because they can handle a project. When google's looking for new ideas, the younger the better and experience really isn't necessary because there's someone else higher up with experience that's telling them what to do. That's why typically in genereal the older people make the long term decisions from higher up positions on IT crews and the younger people go out and do it because they just learned how and aren't sick of keeping current yet. By boss is like 40 and didn't know how to take an AGP card out lol.
