Day 4:

               Today was an interesting day that started off a little bit rocky, our first stop of the day was to Google where we tried to get a tour of their campus but did not have any luck. We still got to walk around the campus for a little bit before basically being thrown out by Google security which was a little disappointing but how many people can really say they got thrown out by Google. The second stop was lunch and the computer history museum which I did not get a chance because lunch went longer than expected. The next stop was to Box Fish, which is a media content company and their biggest client is Netflix. They also work with NBC, GE, and Nestle and they tripled there income last quarter alone. They are a company that seems to be on the rise and can do great things if they play their cards right. The final stop on the day was to Criteo where we met Amber Rice who was n Curry College alum who went to Curry from 1999-2003. Her position is the Executive assistant and started her career at Ebay. Criteo is an Ad targeting company, they are the ones who take something you search and make an ad in the corner of the page out of it. Something else I found interesting was Criteo started out as the French version of IMDB before coming to the United States. We also met Dennis Domingo and his position is Director of technical solutions and he previously worked at Google. The final person we talked to was Dmitri Pavlov and he is the Vice president of engineering, they all talked to us and gave us some very important information and I really liked the company. Out of all the companies we visited today I still liked Google the most because even though we didn’t have a tour it’s not every day you get to walk around Google’s campus. Tomorrow looks very exciting as we are going to Apple for a while tomorrow followed by Facebook and I cannot wait to go to both companies tomorrow.
