As an intern last summer with Google I had my personal Xmonad environment setup and running day 2 in the office.
So yeah, Google gives their developers plenty of control over their workstations :) And Xmonad rocks for productivity.

I found xmonad not so pleasant in multimonitor setup where it saw each monitor as a separate workspace.
This allows me to dedicate a workspace to communication (email, IM, etc), server, development, documentation, etc and move among them easily.
I have about a thousand different windows opened at the same time.
I don't know too much about the Linux desktop scene, and I'm plenty productive as-is, so I didn't even bother looking. Thanks!
