Pros
- part of the bigger Google culture and brand. - generous benefits even during covid19. - Most of the Googlers are intelligent and humble people (for the exceptions of new employees who have not had the chance to embrace the Google culture).
Cons
- Being a challenger in the market, there was tremendous pressure to always and always be working and closing deals. - Lack of diversity in upper management. Most of the managers are white, male and came from traditional organisations. - Micromanagement is the norm. I may be generalising, but it's a common thing at Google Cloud. There's no flexibility, autonomy or independent. All of your move, emails and calls are being tracked and measured. - Promotion is a black box and often times bias. Even if you've been above and beyond to your customers and for your team, you'd be told by your manager that a Consistently Meet Expectations is actually good and you should be grateful for it.
