Google, we have all heard of it. The search engine giant that has become a verb in our everyday lives. But, what you may not know is that Google is constantly looking for new and innovative ways to do things… even if that means thinking outside the box.

Google was established on September 4th, 1998, by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in Menlo Park, California after Sun co-founder, Andy Bechtolsheim, wrote them a cheque for $100,000.

Larry and Sergey, like clever geniuses, put this money to good use by resorting to minimalism. During the early days, the duo crafted indoor desks out of sawhorses to save the cost of buying new furniture and make the most of the existing resources.

Similarly, they built their first CPU enclosure using lego bricks.

The company did everything it could to sustain itself in the long run and become the first tech startup to achieve a trillion-dollar mark.

Now, Google has become the dream company of every engineering graduate but only a few can make it to their desk. The company receives around three million applications each year and its acceptance rate is just 0.2%.
