Amazing, but Chaotic and beware the Middle Management

Pros

Highly influential product with global reach. Is a big business but retains smaller business dynamism. Compensation, Benefits and working environment (including colleagues) are best in class. High levels of autonomy and responsibility. Excellent internal mobility.

Cons

Always too much to do and never enough resources to do it. Increasingly favouring individual achievement and those who are the best at shouting the loudest and being the most visible, and under acknowledging quiet achievers and team players. Managers are either under appreciated and under resourced, or of questionable competence, particularly middle management. Career options are limited outside of California. Increasing levels of internal politics.

Pros

I loved my time at you tube. they have a great community of experts and the company is very big and i feel that i make more money than i do work. I love that the company has interactive measures with its employers.

Cons

The company is too big to do anything. I didn't feel that my work helped anything in the company. Only the smartest of smartest can join this and I felt that the interview was insanely hard.
