I can assure you that the women in engineering are wearing more comfortable footwear. Haha… those young women in Manolos were salespeople, John.

The guys all wear their active-wear / tough weather backpacks; the women seem to like to wear Manolo Blahniks (strange for engineers, but whatever). They are given to obtaining their free morning carbohyrdates (such as fruit loops) and then riding the elevators, clutching their laptops to their chests. They also seem incredibly insular. 1 Broadway is the home to tens of startups, and I have yet to see a young Googler speak to anyone outside of their cult. I don't think I've ever seen someone get on or off the Google floors after hours or on weekends. The Google employees in 1 Broadway seem very young.

Big companies and entrepreneurs usually don't get along but Google seems to have kept its entrepreneurial spirit alive. It should be interesting to watch them grow here.
