      Its all good unless you are a contractor

      Pros

      - Amazing office space, free food and drinks, gym and pool benefits, nice work environment. - You will make some great friends just based on the sheer amount of people you will meet - Good salary if you are employed directly by google as a full timer. - Targets are easy to achieve. - You dont have to sit by your desk all the time you can work from different places in the office.

      Cons

      -A LOT of politics going on between vendor contracters who do the same job for less salary compared to full time googlers. They treat the contractors like a ugly duckling. -low salary for contractors. - contractors become googles experimental rabbits. They hire great people to do great job and when they see that the project is going well they fire all of the contractors. They then advertise that google is looking for new staff. Instead of hire the hard working contractors to full time who already knows the products well they look for brand new people with no experience. -Lies to teams about re org saying that everyone will have a job when truly the whole team gets fired. - The google bubble of their own little world can be blinding

      Pros

      Great benefits Flexible schedule Smart people who can teach you a lot Great resources and training material to help you grow in your career

      Cons

      Internal transfer process is useless. After all the effort to hire you, a more seamless internal transfer process to other roles would be awesome! It is easier to transfer to other roles on your ladder, but not to other orgs. When transferring to other orgs, an internal person goes through the same process as an external candidate.

      Best job experience of my 20+ year career

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      The perks and benefits are everything you've heard before, and more. I'm surprised daily. I've been in and around the Valley for 20+ years at some of the biggest companies in tech. Nothing comes close to my experience here at Google. Every new person I meet is the smartest person I've ever met. The work is compelling, the environment is a conduit for creativity, the benefits are amazing. I've seen lots of comments here about the fact that it's hard to navigate hierarchies and org boundaries to get things done. I suspect most of these reviewers are quite early on in their career and have never had to deal with this in other more "traditional" companies. It's waaaaaaayyy worse outside of the 4 walls of Google, believe me. Simply put, Google is an amazing place to work.

      Cons

      Look, it's no longer the scrappy start up it was 10 years ago. With growth comes maturity. Some of it is good, some of it leaves little to be desired. But none of it is unique to Google. All in all, dealing with bureaucracy sitting in one of our 20+ free cafeterias or on a plane headed to Europe for a team building event makes it bearable and, dare I say, even fun.
