Google operates its second local office in South East Asia this year in Bangkok, Thailand. Previously, Google has operated new office in Singapore for regional office and in Malaysia as the first local office in South East Asia this year. Google reportedly will operate its office in Indonesia before this year-end after Google Executive Chairman, Eric Schmidt, coming to Indonesia and meeting Indonesian Vice President at GEPI 2011.
Noted from Dow Jones Newswire, Julian Persaud, Google Managing Director for South East Asia, stated that Google plans to recruits more than 500 people in Asia by this year, in which the one-fifth or a hundred of them, will be located in South East Asia. When we go to jobs section on Google Thailand, there are three jobs opportunity available in sales area, all of them are for Area Sales Advertising—which deal with Adsense and Adwords.
To synchronize with the local laws in the certain country, Google claimed to be ready to cooperate. Persaud stated that they will not brave enough to come to Malaysia and Indonesia of they do not ready to accommodate this matter. Google will delete improper contents due to local laws, if needed. Previously, Google pulled out from China because they can not accommodate the governments’ (excessive) wishes.
Today, Google has already had around 250 employees at regional office in Singapore and some employees in Malaysia and Thailand office. I predict that the employees’ formation at Google Indonesia office will not different.
