      Product Marketing Manager Google Cloud

      Product marketing manager
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits, salary, stock, smart people, innovative, big budgets, exciting team to be a part of, company is investing heavily into the Google Cloud org.

      Cons

      Growing fast, culture declining with growth, leadership struggling to create priorities and plans for marketing org, poor onboarding experience, very political, adding layers on layers of middle management with big egos, bureaucratic, hard to get things done, false promise of not being hierarchical, little work life balance due to competitive landscape internally, micro-managers that lead by fear even tho it’s against company culture, HR tends to give management benefit of the doubt no matter what the complaint or how many complaints.

      A bit overrated and very corporate/political

      Senior analyst
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The obvious flashy perks are nice, but they're pretty standard at most tech companies these days. There are a lot of structured learning opportunities and a diversity of roles that you can transfer to. The people are generally friendly and very smart.

      Cons

      Tends to be very political and many are not keen to help you unless it benefits them personally (i.e. performance reviews). Perks are nice, but I'd give them up for better basics - health, pension, etc. Work flexibility is a farce - at least in my office/team - and there are a lot of barriers to even getting an afternoon approved to work from home, much less multiple days. To me this illustrates a lack of trust in their employees. I don't know -- I've been generally unhappy since I've joined due to lowered work/life balance, lack of flexibility (so much for those extra vacation days), lack of colleagues' willingness to help with questions/projects, poorer basic benefits, etc.... but I've been compelled to stay since "it's Google" and to give it a fair chance.

      One of the best companies

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Many smart people to learn from, competitive compensation, chance to work on big projects.

      Cons

      1) Google hires smartest people with rocket science background but asks them to do simple things. 2) Too many managers. If you are talented engineer you will soon find yourself alone in the room with 6 managers discussing what you should do next.
