I feel mixed about this. They have a policy where people are expected to be at the office 3 days per week, which may be a hassle for people who live far away and still decided to go work for them. In that sense it’s good that they’re offering discounted accommodation in a region where house prices (and therefore rents) are ridiculous.

On the other hand, Google makes enough money to eat the full cost.

Google could build their own large suburb and not break the bank.
