Cons

Our supervisor consistently engages in bullying behavior toward me and my colleagues on a daily basis. These instances primarily occur in private settings, away from the observation of others. The effects of this behavior have been detrimental to several team members, with some opting to take extended leaves due to the resulting exhaustion and negative impact on their mental well-being and job performance. The supervisor's actions convey a disregard for the feelings of others, often dismissing legitimate concerns and even insinuating that individuals are irrational or unstable. Additionally, he exhibits favoritism, unfairly criticizing certain individuals for minor issues while deliberately overlooking similar behavior in others. His conduct extends to performance evaluations, where he unjustly assigns poor ratings and misrepresents the feedback of team members. The supervisor targets individuals he holds personal grudges against, burdening them with unmanageable workloads and creating situations designed for failure, only to shift blame onto the affected individuals. His relationship with the Director appears to be built on favoritism and ingratiating behavior rather than merit. Proving these actions is challenging due to their clandestine nature and the supervisor's adeptness at manipulating information. Numerous employees have either resigned or attempted to leave the team due to his behavior. Potential new recruits should exercise caution, as they may either become favored by the supervisor or endure daily suffering in silence. For HR personnel, intervention is imperative to prevent further attrition. To those experiencing similar mistreatment, I encourage you to bravely report such behavior to HR. Google removes bad reviews like this one to protect themselves on the outside but in the inside its unfortunately like this. Its hard to get promoted or move in the org as you would have to be close friends with the managers or the right people.

Pros

- Google provides you with the best tech - Lots of swags - Good food I guess?

Cons

Where do I begin - Multiple Team changes: Over my tenure here, i had changed 4 managers in the course of less than 2 years - High pressure: I had managers who would only focus on how many offer Accepts I got. Every meeting, I would hear "Kitna OA?" - Because that was all that mattered clearly. They didn't seem to worry about your well being and if you were doing ok, they just wanted you to close the roles - Horrible PERF - Google like data, so if you don't have the data and numbers to prove what you did, don't bother adding it in your PERF or whatever it is called now. - Poor Managers: I had a manager who only cared about what the stakeholders thought, put me down in team meetings, and never really figured how much pressure they were putting on me until I decided to leave. Too little too late? - When i interviewed for this role, I was made to meet a Senior Leader who intimated me, and basically told me I would fail in the role. What happened to candidate experience.

Pros

Lunches & Snacks, but that’s becoming pretty standard now, and micro kitchens have been closing with budget cuts. 401K match is the best

Cons

Cold calling and constantly harassing advertisers. This job is sales, and you will not learn anything — barely digital marketing since it is a job done at scale, so you can’t dive in deep. This is a BDR role basically!
