<p>Does Google forcefully feed its employees the Kool-Aid or something? A Googler from the Kirkland, WA engineering office <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/tfwfa/as_requested_iama_google_employee_amaa/">took</a> to social news site <a href="http://www.reddit.com/">Reddit</a> today for a Q&amp;A, but appeared so worried about violating Google's mandatory <a href="http://valleywag.com/230407/this-nda-never-existed?tag=techgoogle">nondisclosure agreement</a> that he basically "no comment"-ed every worthwhile question.</p>
<p><!--more-->A majority of his answers revolved around the specific perks that Google offers its employees--like nap pods, massage chairs and gourmet food--perks with which Betabeat is all too <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2012/04/09/the-perks-that-keep-your-devs-from-becoming-jerks/">familiar</a>. But when we got to the good stuff--his loyalty to Google+, or the company culture revolving around leaving early--Mr. IAmAGoogler was disappointingly mum.</p>
<p>"What would you say is the secret to google's success?" asked one user.</p>
<p>"That would be violating my NDA ;)," Mr. "Ask me anything--unless it's actually interesting" replied.</p>
<p>However, he was quite concise and forthcoming with one of his answers.</p>
<p>"Have you ever fapped on campus?" asked one probably 16-year-old user.</p>
<p>"No," responded the Googler, before moving on to answer another question with the rah-rahing devotion typical of Google employees.</p>
<p>If this was a Google PR scheme, it worked quite well. Otherwise, considering the company's notorious secrecy, we have a feeling this Googler might be Googling for another job sometime soon--even if he didn't violate the NDA.</p>
