Great place to work

Customer engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Google offers great benefits such as good health care, pension plan, paternity laeave, and salary aligned with their competitors such as AWS and Azure.

Cons

Any company has some cons. Google is a very large company so you will see a lot of people starting redundant project just because they do not about each other. In Customer Engineering, specially, you see people creating projects for promos only. After the promo, project goes to the bin.
