What I learned getting acquired by Google

When I went to other sites I just had to file a ticket and that was it. If something were to be approved, it was automatic, unless it was a restricted office/building. Maybe it depends on the job role.

Not too unusual, other companies I've worked were very similar.

I think there's a pretty big difference between filing a ticket to open the building next door and having free workspaces around the world you don't have to do paperwork to use.

IIRC it was a very simple ticket with just the building code and expected dates you would be there. Once badged in, you got to use everything inside.

I get that just badging in is a way better experience, but when I travelled to other offices it was just another bullet point on my travel to-do list.

I don’t know/remember what the policy was regarding same-city buildings, as there was just one office in my country.

Same city buildings were also restricted until the ticket was approved or the front desk allowed you in
