      Excellent place to get ahead on retirement savings

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent stock & bonus, if you live on your salary you'll be making some serious bank towards retirement.

      Cons

      Competition both to get in and to get promoted is severe and steep. You'll be making slow progress, if any, towards goals of advancement in title and responsibilities.

      Pros

      + Working with incredibly smart people + Unwritten Googleyness culture + Offices/ free food

      Cons

      +TVC's are not treated as equally as employees yet have to work just as/if not harder than FTE's +Little to no influence to make improvements or changes (classic small fish, big pond) +Constant pressure to perform or for next promo +Work/life balance is not there, despite the continuous presentations on it +Comp is below average which a ridiculous model of a 4 year compensation plan +Make friends with management, you might be fast tracked

      Inequality in Treatment

      Ops specialist
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Slow progress so there is some work life balance depending on team

      Cons

      Certain buildings have better food and amenities than others. Does not feel great to be treated less than other swe or tech employees. Compensation reflects this which I get, but culturally this sense of inequality should not exist. Decrease in perks and benefits and cost cutting is not helping
