Mayer is known to invite her employees to help build the brand. Mayer adopted a concept from her days at Stanford—office hours. For about 90 minutes a day, beginning at 4:00 pm, Mayer used to hold office hours at Google. Employees would add their name to a board outside her office and, on a first-come basis, would get a few minutes of her time. These interactions were held outside of the longer, regularly scheduled meetings. These meetings gave the opportunity to her subordinates to give feedback on projects or to pitch ideas. Mayer said many of Google's most popular features got their start during office hours.
