Pros

Has catered food and pretty good comp package.

Cons

All corporate policies are totally inflexible. Remote work is completely over. Constantly feels like layoffs just around the corner. Zero reassurance or receptivity from senior management on any issue. Companywide morale is meh at best.

Pros

Your coworkers are amazing. Kind, well-paid, smart and willing to help. It is a great place to grow.

Cons

If you have a toxic manager, change your team ASAP. Do not lose time. Pick your team carefully. It is never to late. If you join a team which embraces your skillset, sky is the limit.

Pros

I would say nowadays pretty much just the food

Cons

There are 2 types of work within google zurich: the ones that are super high project and they exploit you to the point you are miserable and don't have a life anymore, and the ones that are not important enough so they fire the team and relocate the project to a cheaper location. Working under those conditions very stressful, destroying the enjoyment of coding and ultimately actually affecting the quality of Google products.
