You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.
M$1 Answer
As of December 31, 2006, 10,674 employees located around the world.
As per the survey, in September, 30 2011, Google had 31,353 employees. Now it would be more than this figure. Advertising Sales and Enterprise is selling Google Advertising services to large companies, specifically, for their web presence. Good examples are the Google ads you see on CNN.com. While CNN could paste AdSense code into their website, they get far better revenue rates with a direct plan from Google based upon their website size and reach.
Enterprise sales means sales of Google solutions again to large companies. Google solutions may mean a variety of programs for each of a company's websites (advertising, keyword advertising, search, etc) and Internet points of presence.
Both solutions require an individual who a) knows how to sell into the upper level of a company, b) understands advertising and marketing, c) understands advanced website metrics and d) knows the needs of a variety of businesses.
t mostly depends on your job and what qualifications you have.
But: http://www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/ should answer most of your questions.
FAQs
About Google
Q: What kind of projects do the engineers work on in each office?
A: Each office works on full-cycle projects and teams often collaborate with teams in other offices. For specifics, visit our city-specific jobs websites to learn more. Project assignments are determined close to start date, using your input on what you'd like to work on along with the needs of the different engineering projects. Our interview process evaluates your core software engineering skills: coding, algorithm development, data structures, design patterns, analytical thinking skills. If you are a strong software engineer, you can potentially work on a number of different Google Engineering projects.
Q: How many employees does Google have total?
A: Please take a look at our Corporate Company Profile for the official numbers.
The number of employees from our individual locations varies and is not disclosed in the interest of privacy.
Choosing a role
Q: If I'm a good Software Engineer, can I apply for a Product Manager role, too?
A: Our Product Managers are very technical, and have years of software engineering and coding experience. If you are interested in both roles and also have a passion for forward thinking product development, we welcome you to speak with a recruiter about the role that fits you the best.
Q: Is it better for me to concentrate on a PhD before applying, or should I interview having attained only a BSc / MSc?
A: We encourage individuals to meet their full potential. If that involves a PhD for an individual then we encourage that, but we have roles for graduates at every level.
Q: What is the career progression like at Google? I've heard everyone is new, so there are no managers, no plan and no precedent for progression.
A: Google takes an innovative approach to career progression, putting career development in the hands of the individual. That said, we do have Managers, structured review processes, and offer educational resources and other opportunities for you to shape your future. It's a place where you can get the guidance you want, and avoid the hierarchical structure that you don't need in order to do your job well.
Interview specific questions
Q: How long will the process take?
A: It varies depending on the role and the office. We can't promise you an offer next week but if you have a competing offer and need to make a quick decision, please let your recruiter know and they will do what they can to make sure you have the information you need in order to make a decision.
Q: What can I expect from a technical phone interview with Google?
A: You should expect to spend most of the time answering technical questions that could range from designing algorithms and systems, possibly tackling puzzles, and demonstrating your thinking about how you solve technical problems.
Q: What can I do to prepare for my interview?
A: Visit our Google corporate website, get familiar with our products and the papers we have published. Explore problem solving questions and algorithm questions to get your mind ready for the exercise. It's important for you to think out loud during the interview, so, if you're not used to it, practice thinking out loud. Relax, get a good night's sleep and arrive on time!
Q: What format do technical interviews take?
A: You will meet Software Engineers with different backgrounds and levels of experience who will test your technical capabilities for the role. This is likely to be complex and interactive. You should expect to write code on the white-board and express your knowledge and inventiveness in detail.
Q: How long will the interview take?
A: Individual interviews usually takes between 30 minutes to an hour and you may have up to 4 in one day, with breaks, of course.
Q: I know someone at the office - can I have lunch with him while I'm there?

Q: What will happen next after the interview?
A: Your recruiter will follow up with you and explain the next steps.
Q: When can I expect to hear from my recruiter?
A: Once you've had initial contact, your recruiter will be in constant contact with you. If you have not heard from him or her in a few days, please feel free to initiate contact yourself.
Q: If I'm successful, what project will I be working on?
A: We don't know exactly which project you will work on yet since everything at Google moves and changes quickly. It's essential to be flexible and adaptable, but rest assured we will consider your background, interests and skills when choosing your project and team. Your team will enable you to get up to speed and settle in –likely with a small starter project.
