- Fast-paced environments actually means organizational changes every 6 months, and results in uncertainty and anxiety for personel - Lot of internal pressure for promotion : each next level unlocks better salary and more interesting jobs within the company + people judge you based on a "level" you achieved. Yet, promotion process is not transparent, and visibility and politics plays a bigger role than performance itself. - You might find yourself "locked" in a position you don't like, doing jobs that are below your expertise. Yet you wouldn't be able to move higher if you didn't got a promotion. This leads to burnout and loss of interest to the job. - Don't be fooled, Google is a corporation now. All cons of corporation, including omnipresent politics, non-payed extra working hours, internal bureaucracy, management prefer to look at numbers and not to speak with people, and the Google Bubble, where one is loosing the connection with a rest of the world...

Huge competition Almost everyone is overqualified for ther work Google is far from a StartUp, everything is political, not the best people get promoted but the best in politics Living costs in Dublin are extremly high compared, the salary is low especially after the taxes Work/Life Balance is a myth In the end you are a small part in a huge machinery where no noe really cares. At the beginning you think it is great, but in the end, you are way better of at other companies
