Disappointed

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible working hours, on-site food is free of charge, gym/pool etc all on site. Diverse. salary is above average and a great brand to have on your CV

Cons

Political, lots of backstabbing at Management level, becoming solely focused on revenue and ignoring client. Hitting targets and kpis are more important than giving the customer a good experience. The company is becoming less trusted by both its employees and its customers. Promotion is based on perception rather than performance, your regularly told to ‘play the game’

Pros

- Free food - On-site Gym - Everyone will like you more because you work for Google

Cons

- Everyone outside of work won't stop asking about Google - All of the free food and dessert will make you fat - Co-workers with a god complex everywhere. They're all at the top of their games with little humility. You will get lonely. - Minimal chance for advancement - Everyone is on edge here. No one can relax. You will get lonely. - My co-worker insulted a Chinese co-worker all the time and no one said a word which is indicative of the culture here. - Long commute times on the over-packed buses akin to taking two coach flights per day on the smallest airplane. - Outdated equipment - Broken toilets everywhere. Broken bikes everywhere. Everything is broken. - Knowing that this is the best job on that planet makes all of this even more depressing - The Google exceptionalism mentality permeates everything and everyone here. - Low wages compared to competition - I could go on and on
