En plus de ces conditions de travail ( ici )…
Chez Google, tous les ingénieurs sont invités à consacrer 20% de leur temps de travail à des projets personnels. Peu importe lesquels ( ici ). Ils sont payés pour le faire.
Dans cette entrevue avec Business Week , le PDG de Google, Eric Schmidt, explique l’idée derrière ce principe du 20%:
"The story of innovation has not changed. It has always been a small team of people who have a new idea, typically not understood by people around them and their executives. [This is] a systematic way of making sure a middle manager does not eliminate that innovation. If you're the employee and I'm the manager, and I sit down and say, "Our product's late, and you screwed up, and you gotta work on this really hard," you can legally say to me, "I will give you everything I've got, 80% of [my time]."

I believe that this innovation escape-valve model is applicable to essentially every business that has technology as a component."
