Pros
- Mission driven, product focused company (I really respect and admire the co-founders) - Obviously all the perks that folks talk about (on-site doctors, many different cafes with its own themes, annual holiday gift, etc) - Great brand recognition - you can always feel validated when you tell people you work at Google - Truly a company that tries to be innovative and do good for society - Overall compensation that's hard to match unless you're going to Facebook (competitive base + yearly bonus + equity + all the perks of being at Google)
Cons
- The department you go to will dictate whether you have a great time or terrible time at Google. - Consumer Operations was a really political organization, with folks who wanted to watch out for their own behinds so would throw others under the bus as necessary. In this department, we had managers who were not fit to lead. While rest of Google had flexibility to work remotely, this department frowned upon this which is ironic given the senior director lives in Los Angeles and actually commutes back/forth with a fair amount of remote work. - Be ready for reorgs often and change of responsibilities - There are definite jerks in Consumer Operations department, you wouldn't think it given the transparent, open culture of Google but Consumer Operations has its own culture. Unfortunately, the Consumer Operations culture is not the Google culture.
